Aero Contractors has offered her unreserved apologies to its customers who suffered disruption of services during the week out of Asaba and Abuja. 

The airline said in a statement made available to the media that the delay of flight out of Asaba was caused by the bad weather that it experienced on that day. 

Aero explained that: “Our flight took off from Abuja but could not land in Asaba, we had to do an air return to Abuja. Later the flight went back to Asaba. However, due to sunset time limitation in Asaba, we had to combine the flights as the flight from Lagos was also delayed due to bad weather”. 

The airline stated further that the over booked passengers were offered rebate tickets on their next flight or total refund, adding that one passenger was routed via our Benin-Abuja flight the next day while another one was accommodated.

“On the N2-128 flight service from Abuja to Lagos, one of our Aircraft that was meant to night stop out of base had an APU issue which Technicians needed to fix by having the aircraft back in Lagos.  Unfortunately the earlier operating aircraft had a bigger capacity, so there was an excess of booked passengers. DANA air was contacted for the re-protection of the passengers which the airline agreed to do, but some of the passengers refused, insisting on going with Aero.

This led to the delay but finally almost all the passengers were put on DANA while one passenger was refunded his money based on his preference,” Aero stated. 

The airline while offering unreserved apologies to customers assured them that it has taken adequate measures in its operations to ensure the experience does not repeat itself.

Aero concluded the statement by restating its commitment to the safety and comfort of its customers at all times while hoping to welcome them on board soon.
