Boeing 737 MAX: We’ll wait for outcome of investigations before taking decision

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of Air Peace airline, Allen Onyema, yesterday, said the airline would wait for the outcome of investigations before taking a decision on its order for 10 Boeing 737 MAX 800 which will begin to arrive in 2023.

Onyema also frowned at the behaviour of some Nigerians who mischievously created the impression that the airline already had the aircraft in its fleet.

According to him: “It is true that Air Peace ordered for10 Boeing 737MAX 8, after which the aircraft type was involved in two fatal accidents in Indonesia and Ethiopia respectively, but like other airlines that have also ordered the aircraft, the Nigerian carrier would wait for the outcome of investigations before taking a decision on the order. “We are not saying we are cancelling neither are we saying we are not cancelling because no airline that ordered for the aircraft had said it is cancelling. Everybody is waiting for the outcome of the investigation.

What airlines that have the aircraft have done now is to ground them until the result of the investigation comes out. And at the same time countries are banning them from flying in their airspace until the investigation comes out
