The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) says, it strongly backs Air Peace in its current dispute with Gartwick Airport over the refusal of a customary water salute for inaugurating new flights.
Yerima Shettima, AYCF’s President General, in a statement condemns Gartwick’s actions as unjust, intimidating, and unacceptable.
Shettima criticizes the airport’s discriminatory treatment, citing the denial of Air Peace’s salute while granting it to another airline shortly after.
He highlights the poor conditions Air Peace faced on its inaugural day, emphasizing the need for fair treatment and equal opportunities for all airlines.
Despite the ordeal, AYCF appreciates the widespread support from Nigerians of all backgrounds and calls for solidarity in demanding accountability and fairness from Gatwick Airport.
