AIR PEACE, BRITISH AIRWAYS, VIRGIN ATLANTIC AND THE PRICE WAR The debut of Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, on the London route has sparked significant reactions from Nigerians, which is unsurprising given the long-awaited nature of this event. On the other hand, Air Peace’s aggressive pricing strategy, slashing fares, was widely welcomed, particularly in the current economic climate where cost-competitiveness is crucial for many Nigerians. Interestingly, in response to Air Peace’s fare reduction, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic followed suit, prompting allegations from Nigerians that these incumbent carriers had been overcharging them previously. This article aims to provide readers with a better understanding of the dynamics at play. It’s important to recognize that every business must balance the often-conflicting interests of consumers and shareholders. Consumers demand high-quality products and services at affordable prices, coupled with excellent customer service and ambience. Shareholders, on the other hand, seek maximum profitability, as they have provided the capital and expect a reasonable return on their investment. This divergence in needs leads to differing perspectives. Just as consumers seek fair pricing, shareholders desire higher returns.

Avoid @AmericanAirlines I was scheduled to depart at 11:10 PM, only to have the flight delayed to 9:30 AM the next day—a 10-hour delay. To make matters worse, according to my boarding pass, boarding begins at 6:20 AM, yet American Airlines advises passengers to be at the airport three hrs in advance (6:30 AM)How does that make any sense? #ClearAsMud I called them twice to ask for clarity on whether I need to check in 3 hours before, and I was met with rude agents who just repeated the same scripted responses, offering no real help or direction. Avoid American Airlines at all cost if you want reliable service and respectful treatment. We, as passengers, deserve better—clear answers, respectful interactions, and a genuine effort to help. This experience has been far from that. American Airlines #DoBetter #TerribleService Robert Isom

It Begins! Airline Competition Investigation Takes Off Ottawa is officially stepping into the role of arbiter of domestic airline competition. The subtext is the dominance of AC & WS and repeated failures of Canadian LCCs.

The filing made today is part of our ongoing effort to urge all governments involved—the Irish government, the European Commission, and the US government—to urgently resolve this matter before irreparable damage is done not only to US airlines, but also to Dublin Airport and the Irish economy. Dublin Airport is a critical transatlantic link and economic gateway between the US and Europe.” Dublin Airport daa Irish Aviation Authority Irish Independent Irish Government https://lnkd.in/e9rEXi6G
