SOURCE FOUNDATION FOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM- On December 21, passengers who bought Air Peace tickets for a Lagos-Kingston, Jamaica, flight were shocked to learn only at the airport that the airline would no longer be flying to Jamaica but to Barbados.
According to the three passengers who spoke with FIJ, the sudden diversion was announced at the check-in point without prior notice, with refunds denied, while those who protested were pressured to board the aircraft or risk losing their money. What followed was a trail of dumping, detention, deportation and significant financial loss.
‘AIR PEACE ASSURED ME KINGSTON WAS THE FINAL DESTINATION’
While speaking with FIJ on Thursday, Joseph Owoyemi (not real name), an Abuja resident and one of the victims, told FIJ he had booked the flight after Air Peace publicly advertised the Lagos–Kingston route on its social media platforms and website.
“I booked a direct Air Peace flight ticket from Lagos to Kingston, Jamaica, scheduled to depart on December 21. Air Peace had publicly advertised and announced on their social media platforms that a direct Lagos–Kingston flight would be available,” Owoyemi told FIJ.

“To verify the authenticity of this information, we took steps to confirm the details with the airline. We contacted Udoka Abalihi, an Air Peace business executive, who confirmed that Kingston would indeed be the final destination.

Probly all had one-way tickets
Jamaica much closer to Florida than Barbados. Not good for those planning to migrate illegally to the USA.
…And don’t forget the CURRENT calamitous collaboration that Prime Minister Gaston Browne is pushing with Air Peace!
What could possibly go wrong?
Hey, but don’t worry folks, Browne and the ABLP has done their due diligence – nothing to worry ’bout…
Bullfoot soup 🥣 anyone?
Unbelievable….!! this government is really sickening… they just don’t learn from there mistakes… everything this airline touches is controversy and the ALP wants to get in bed with them… no shame at all!!!
We are already on the US radar for visa restrictions and the dumpass government want to jump in bed again to bring people here who only has intentions of migrating to the US
The SCAMMING continues. How much subsidy is the Antigua & Barbuda government doing to have Air Peace flying into the Caribbean, since LIAT the subsidiary of Air Peace is heavily subsidised by the A&B government?
Lol. The dude don’t even want to give his own name..if that doesn’t give you pause, well what else would? 😂
The worse deal that has ever happened, is that Caricom giving Visa Free access to African Nations, especially Nigeria and Ghana.
Perfect opening for the scammers from those two countries to roam freely.
Get ready folks..you were warned about the likes of these types of people like the Air Peace owner. Just watch.
And to be honest, I think Jamaica dodged a bullet by that flight landing in Barbados.
WHAT THE HELL…! …AIR PEACE: …EAR-PIECE: …DUPE: AND
LAND AND DUMP IN ‘…ONE PIECE’

Obviously, all these passengers may have known was:

(c) … GIVEN ‘…AN ELECTRONIC EAR-PIECE: to
(d) …LISTEN TO ‘…JAMAICAN AND BARBADIAN MUSIC:
(e) …LAND IN BARBADOS: and
(f) …DUMPED THEM IN ONE PIECE.’
***
WHAT THE HELL…!

WISH AFRICAN DISHES:
‘…PUFF-PUFF OR MOI-MOI.’
More diners ‘…PUFF AND MOI,’ MORE THEY WANT.

BARBADIAN DISH: …FINE CULINARY ARTS:
(a) ‘…Fried Flying Fish: and
(b) …Cou-Cou.’

TASTE DARN GOOD: …QUITE DELICIOUS, TOO.

Islanman26, I’ve come to the conclusion that Gaston Browne is extremely vacuous or on some sort of medication.
His decision making is getting worse don’t you think? 🤔
Wha’ wrong wid he?
@Brix.
It’s been gone long long time. We saw it from a mile, but when you’re hands are caught in the Cookie Jar over and over, these decisions are the results of that.
The man is beholden to other outsiders interest but the people of Antigua.
When people keep saying you are corrupt, they are not just talking, corruption has a face, and this is what it looks like.
The great book said it. ” Everything in the dark will come to light”.
Sad..but that’s our reality boss.
