AGS NEWS – The United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) has informed Nigeria’s Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) of alleged aviation safety violations by Air Peace.

This comes just three months after Air Peace began its Lagos-London route.

The UK CAA submitted two mandatory occurrence reports concerning Air Peace, which were then forwarded to the NCAA.

The complaints were detailed in a letter titled “United Kingdom SAFA Ramp Inspection Report” and “NATS Management System Safety Report.”

In response, the NCAA requested Air Peace to clarify the issues raised. The NCAA’s letter, dated May 14, 2024, was signed by General Manager of Operations, Capt. O.O. Lawani.

The letter highlighted concerns over the lack of operational approval for the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) functions, which are essential for safe aircraft operation.

It noted the absence of a mounting device for the EFB, as well as no charging points or backup battery.

Air Peace recently started operating flights to London Gatwick from Lagos under the Bilateral Air Services Agreement between Nigeria and the UK.

Attempts to reach Air Peace’s spokesperson, Stanley Olisa, for comment were unsuccessful.
