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.

Another social media user remarked with humour: “Na only Air Peace dey do airline like family. Next time I go wear fine cloth enter flight—opportunity fit jam destiny. God bless @flyairpeace and @tecnomobileng! Nigeria to the world!”

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. (The Guardian)
