Air Peace cancels flights to six cities due to unscheduled maintenance

The airline stated that the cancellations would affect operations on Wednesday and Thursday, January 15 and 16, 2025.

This announcement was conveyed in a statement signed by Dr. Ejike Ndiulo, Head of Corporate Communications, Air Peace, on Wednesday.

“Dear Esteemed Customer 

“We wish to inform you of the cancellation of flights to and from Warri and Ibadan due to unscheduled maintenance. Additionally, flights to Akure, Ilorin, Calabar, and Uyo have been cancelled for the same reason. 

“These cancellations will affect operations today and tomorrow,” the statement read in part.

The statement further emphasized that affected passengers had been promptly notified through various communication channels to minimize inconvenience.

Air Peace expressed its sincere regret for the disruptions and reiterated its unwavering commitment to upholding the highest safety standards. Passengers were advised to stay updated on flight schedules or reach out to the customer service team for assistance.

Flight cancellations and delays are sometimes unavoidable in Nigeria and globally, often due to weather, technical issues, or operational challenges. However, poor management of these disruptions can worsen passenger frustration.

Between September and October 2024, Nigerian airlines recorded 5,225 delays and 901 cancellations, accounting for 48.3% and 8.3% of total flights, respectively.

The meeting highlighted the importance of improving communication and coordination between airlines, airport authorities, and passengers. It was agreed that addressing these gaps would help restore confidence and enhance the travel experience in Nigeria’s aviation sector.
