..Says passengers were duly informed as refreshments were provided
Air Peace Limited has explained that
the initial delays to its operations at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, were occasioned by the unavailability of Jet A1 aviation fuel, which affected its flight operations and that of other airlines operating from the airport.
The airline in a statement signed by the management
noted that the update has become absolutely necessary following reports and footage circulating across the media and social media showing some of its esteemed passengers expressing their concerns over the disruptions.
The airline stated that upon the availability of fuel, its affected flights commenced operations accordingly.
The airline explained further that: “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”.
Air Peace maintained that throughout the disruption, passengers were duly informed of the delays and provided with refreshments.
According to the airline, following the cancellation, affected passengers were also provided with hotel accommodation, with arrangements made to operate the flight the following day.
The airline while regretting the inconvenience caused to its esteemed passengers appreciated their patience and understanding, stating that at Air Peace, the safety and wellbeing of its passengers remain paramount.
The airline said it will continue to prioritise these considerations in all its operations.
