Air Peace has announced a temporary disruption to Saturday’s scheduled Lagos–London Gatwick service as the plane experienced a technical fault shortly after completion of passenger boarding.
The airline said a minor fault that required immediate attention was noticed during a routine post-boarding technical check, necessitating its immediate withdrawal from service.
“In line with our uncompromising commitment to safety and global aviation standards, the aircraft was promptly withdrawn from service and passengers safely disembarked.
“At Air Peace, the safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew will always take precedence over operational schedules. While we understand the inconvenience this situation may have caused, taking swift preventive action was the responsible and necessary decision.
“All affected passengers were immediately informed and provided with support, including hotel accommodation and other necessary assistance to ensure their comfort. To minimise further disruption, a replacement aircraft from London will be dispatched and passengers are scheduled to depart this morning.
“We deeply appreciate the patience, understanding, and cooperation shown by our passengers during this period. Their trust remains incredibly important to us. Air Peace remains fully committed to delivering safe, reliable service at all times.”, it stated.
