"Our attention has been drawn to reports of a fraudulent Facebook page operating under the name "Silver Bryan Fran." This page falsely claims to represent Air Peace and is promoting an "80% off on Selected Routes" offer.

"The scam involves redirecting individuals to a sponsored post, followed by a series of questionnaires and WhatsApp conversations with a fake representative.

"We wish to categorically state that Air Peace has not authorized any such promotional offer or campaign. This is the work of fraudulent individuals attempting to deceive and exploit unsuspecting members of the public.
