BREAKING NEWS: Air Peace Cancels Lagos-London Flight Over Technical Fault
Air Peace has announced a temporary disruption to its scheduled Lagos–London Gatwick service after a minor technical issue was detected during a routine inspection of the aircraft.
In a statement shared on its official X account on Saturday, the airline said the fault was discovered shortly after passengers had boarded the aircraft, leading to the immediate withdrawal of the plane from operation in line with standard safety procedures.
“Following the completion of passenger boarding, a routine post-boarding technical check identified a minor aircraft fault that required immediate attention,” the airline stated.
According to the carrier, all passengers were safely disembarked while its engineers worked on the issue.
The airline emphasised that safety remains its highest priority, explaining that the decision to suspend the flight was taken to ensure the wellbeing of passengers and crew members.
“At Air Peace, the safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew will always take precedence over operational schedules,” the statement read.
“While we understand the inconvenience this situation may have caused, taking swift preventive action was the responsible and necessary decision,” it added.
The airline said affected passengers were promptly notified about the development and provided with hotel accommodation alongside other support services.
Air Peace also disclosed that another aircraft would be deployed from London to operate the delayed flight.
“To minimise further disruption, a replacement aircraft from London will be dispatched and passengers are scheduled to depart this morning,” the airline said.
The airline expressed appreciation to passengers for their patience and cooperation during the delay, while reaffirming its commitment to maintaining safe and dependable flight operations.
