  "account": "Air Peace has clarified that a false fire alarm was triggered on one of its leased aircraft after it landed in Lagos, resulting in a safe evacuation of all passengers with no injuries reported. The airline announced this in a statement on Sunday, following the incident that occurred when the aircraft was parked at Murtala Muhammed Airport. The captain was alerted in the cockpit about a potential fire as passengers were disembarking, prompting precautionary safety measures. According to Air Peace, the fire alert was activated after the aircraft had landed and was stationary at the airport, leading the captain to initiate the necessary safety procedures. The airline emphasized that no actual fire was verified and stated that its Maintenance and Engineering team is conducting a thorough investigation to determine what caused the alarm. All passengers were safely evacuated, and no injuries were reported. The airline expressed appreciation for the swift response of its flight crew, ground personnel, airport emergency services, and the passengers for their cooperation. This incident is part of a series of operational and safety-related events involving Air Peace aircraft over the past year, including various incidents such as runway, bird strike, technical, and ground-handling issues. Despite these challenges, the carrier has continued to expand its operations, ranking 10th among Africa's largest airlines by scheduled capacity in July with approximately 360,000 seats. However, Kenya Airways displaced Air Peace from the 10th position in August.",
