Air Peace Explains Abuja Flight Delay
Air Peace has explained that the initial delays to its Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja operations were occasioned by the unavailability of Jet A1 aviation fuel, which affected Air Peace and other airlines operating from the airport.
A statement from Air Peace says “upon the availability of fuel, our 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.
We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused to our esteemed passengers and appreciate their patience and understanding. At Air Peace, the safety and well being of our passengers remain paramount, and we will continue to prioritize these considerations in all our operations.
