Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, has come under scrutiny for its recent flight cancellations and delays, with some passengers expressing frustration and inconvenience. However, the airline has stood firm on its commitment to prioritizing safety above all else.
The Importance of Safety
According to Air Peace, safety is a top priority, and any disruptions to flight operations are made with the utmost care and consideration for passenger safety.
- Weather conditions, technical parameters, or operational standards that fall short of safety standards will not result in flights being operated.
- Flights are only operated when all safety protocols and guidelines are met.
- Passengers can expect to be informed of any changes or disruptions to their flights as soon as possible.
The airline has also emphasized that it is not its policy to delay or cancel flights without a valid reason. When flights are delayed or cancelled, Air Peace is often the greater loser financially.
Clarifying the Facts
Air Peace has also sought to clarify that the recent disruptions were not due to a lack of aircraft or a fleet shortage. In fact, the airline has more aircraft than are being rostered for daily operations.
