What to know
Air Peace responded to reports circulating online about a purported 100% increase in domestic flight fares, firmly denying the claims as false.
The airline issued a statement on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, clarifying that the viral message regarding a fare hike, which suggested a 100% increase across all domestic routes starting on November 1, 2024, was not from Air Peace.
- According to the circulated message, the airline was allegedly planning steep fare increases for various booking classes, with some fares rising by more than 100%. This information was further amplified by a supposed internal memo, fueling speculation about potential fare hikes.
- However, Air Peace swiftly addressed the issue, urging passengers to rely on its verified channels, such as its official website and social media accounts, for accurate and up-to-date information regarding pricing.
- The airline emphasized its commitment to transparency and customer trust, stating that it had not made any official announcements regarding fare increases. It also reassured passengers that any future changes to pricing would be communicated through its official channels, ensuring that customers are kept informed and aware of any updates.
Air Peace stated that it remains focused on enhancing its services, including the introduction of its new first-class offering while maintaining clear and accurate communication with passengers.
