Nigeria’s leading carrier, Air Peace on Monday disclosed the impacts of the Coronavirus COVID-19 lockdown on the airline which led to the reduction of its flight frequencies.
Air Peace Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mrs. Toyin Olajide explained that the advent of the COVID-19 devastated airlines worldwide, Air Peace not exempted.
Olajide told journalists that the airline had several aircraft out on C-check maintenance abroad before COVID-19 and were caught up with the covid-19 lockdown globally, forcing the suspension of aircraft maintenance, noting that the aircraft ferried overseas for checks that time were supposed to have since come back one after another but because of lockdown in those countries, the aircraft did not come back at the scheduled time.
But the aircraft are now returning to full flight operations and the airline assured that it would connect all its domestic, regional and international destinations in coming days.
“In recent times, our teeming customers have been worried that our flight frequencies have been drastically reduced to about 30% of our capacity before COVID-19. They are equally worried that their favorite airline has also suspended their flight operations into some destinations.
“The above scenario has created some worries of varying degrees in the minds of those who really care for us- our customers. We wish to state here and now that there is no cause for alarm. We still remain the airline to beat.
