In a move highlighting cultural pride, Air Peace staff arrived in London adorned in vibrant Ishiagu attire, traditionally worn in Igbo land. This departure from conventional uniforms sparked a mix of reactions across social media.
While some applauded the display of heritage, others questioned the airline's choice, citing concerns over professionalism and national representation. Despite the debate, many lauded the initiative as a celebration of diversity and cultural richness. Air Peace, known for its commitment to Nigerian unity, received both praise and criticism, reflecting the complexities of navigating cultural expression in a multicultural society.
Many are not happy, but regardless, this is a great thing to celebrate. Bashir Ahmad commended Allen Onyema's choice of dress code, stating that Air Peace is not a Nigerian airline, allowing the owner to select attire suitable for his business.
Meanwhile, Allen Onyema's decision received further support, with calls for Nigerian businessmen to invest in Nigeria rather than abroad. As discussions continue, the airline's decision underscores broader conversations surrounding identity, tradition, and representation in the aviation industry.
