Passengers aboard a recent Air Peace flight received an unexpected mid-air gift as the Nigerian airline, in partnership with Tecno Mobile, handed out brand new Camon 40 smartphones during the journey—prompting a wave of excitement and admiration across social media.

The surprise giveaway, which took place on one of the airline’s regional routes, involved a lucky dip conducted during the flight. Selected passengers were each presented with the newly launched Tecno Camon 40 device, a gesture that has since gone viral, earning accolades for both brands.

A widely shared post on X (formerly Twitter) captured the mood on board: “Omo I was on an Air Peace flight today and they legit did a lucky dip mid-air — winners got brand new Tecno Camon 40 phones! No long talk, just vibes and surprises. Big ups to @flyairpeace and @tecnomobileng — this is how you treat passengers!”

The response online has been overwhelmingly positive, with many Nigerians lauding the initiative as a refreshing departure from the norm. The campaign is being hailed as a creative approach to customer appreciation, and one that strengthens brand loyalty through shared experiences.

The partnership between Air Peace and Tecno Mobile—both of which enjoy strong consumer followings—has been described by some as a ‘match made in innovation’, reflective of a growing trend in experiential marketing across Nigeria’s aviation and tech industries.

Air Peace, which has built a reputation for bold moves in the local and regional aviation space, continues to reinforce its brand not only through expanded routes but also through customer-centric initiatives such as this. Meanwhile, Tecno’s involvement further cements its position as a mobile brand deeply attuned to the African market.

As the campaign continues to trend online, many Nigerians are now viewing Air Peace not just as a commercial airline, but a cultural symbol of national pride—pushing boundaries in customer service and redefining the flying experience.
