Flight Delays Due To Aviation Fuel Shortage – Air Peace
Air Peace Limited has attributed the latest flight delays and baggage restrictions across its network to the ongoing shortage of aviation fuel in Nigeria.
In a statement on Monday signed by spokesperson, Osifo-Whiskey Efe, Air Peace said these disruptions align with broader reports of soaring jet fuel prices in Africa, driven by global supply chain issues like Strait of Hormuz tensions, pushing some airlines toward financial strain.
“Dear Valued Customer, we wish to inform you that some flights across our network may experience delays due to ongoing aviation fuel supply challenges,” the statement read.
As a result of the current constraints, the airline said there may be baggage carriage limitations on certain flights, while in some cases, this may require adjustments to checked baggage handling to ensure full compliance with operational and safety requirements.
It said any affected baggage will be scheduled for transportation on subsequent flights and handled with appropriate care throughout the process.
Air Peace apologised, saying: “We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to manage these disruptions effectively.
“Please be assured that our team is making every effort to minimise the impact and ensure you are conveyed safely and as promptly as possible.
“We kindly encourage you to check your flight status regularly and reach out to us for any assistance or updates regarding your travel.”
For enquiries on flight schedules or other concerns, the airline directed the public to contact its customer support team via the available channels.
It also reassured passengers of prioritized safety and prompt support, consistent with its recent responses to similar delay complaints.
“At Air Peace, safety remains the cornerstone of our operations. We are fully committed to upholding the highest standards of safety while delivering a seamless travel experience. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued trust in us,” the statement read.
