Air Peace has  provided  update regarding the flight disruptions experienced at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, following reports and footage circulating across the media and social media showing some of its r esteemed passengers expressing their concerns over the disruptions.

The Management said that the initial delays to its Abuja operations were occasioned by the unavailability of  aviation fuel, which affected Air Peace and other airlines operating from the airport. Upon the availability of fuel, its affected flights commenced operations accordingly.

“However, our Abuja–Maiduguri service could not subsequently operate as planned. Although an extension had initially been granted for the flight, by the time the aircraft was ready for boarding, prevailing VFR conditions meant that the extension was no longer tenable, as the flight could not operate beyond sunset.”

“Throughout the disruption, passengers were duly informed of the delays and provided with refreshments. Following the cancellation, affected passengers were also provided with hotel accommodation, with arrangements made to operate the flight the following day.”

Air Peace Management in a statement expressed regret the inconvenience caused to  its esteemed passengers and appreciate their patience and understanding.

“At Air Peace, the safety and wellbeing of our passengers remain paramount, and we will continue to prioritise these considerations in all our operations.”
