Title: Air Peace Rejects NSIB Drug, Alcohol Claims, Reaffirms Safety Standards Date Published: 12 September 2025 Description: Air Peace has dismissed media reports citing a preliminary Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) finding that its pilots tested positive for alcohol and drugs after an incident at Port Harcourt International Airport on July 13, 2025.In a statement on Friday, the airline said it had received no official communication from the NSIB on such results and described the reports as misleading. It emphasized its zero-tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol, adding that it conducts frequent crew tests stricter than regulatory requirements.The carrier confirmed that the captain of the affected flight was grounded for failing to follow standard go-around procedures, while the co-pilot was cleared and reinstated by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).Air Peace said if any test results later prove positive, it would increase the frequency of crew testing. The airline also pledged stronger internal monitoring and retraining to reinforce safety standards.Reassuring passengers, the statement noted that Air Peace remains IOSA-certified and committed to global best practices, stressing that “safety will never be compromised.”\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Attached Images: 863b1ee3aa0eb5e95ec5adf2583010d8826f3c93ffef28522bf39869698a9d39.jpg Attached Video: None
