Air Peace has apologized to passengers affected by recent delays and flight cancellations, attributing the disruptions to a combination of aircraft incidents, adverse weather, technical checks and aviation-fuel availability.
Chief Operating Officer Oluwatoyin Olajide said an inadvertent false fire alarm grounded one aircraft while bad weather caused diversions, delays and cancellations across parts of the network.
Another aircraft was taken out of service after a bird strike, while a separate technical issue required mandatory checks and maintenance.
The airline also cited delays linked to the availability of aviation fuel.
Air Peace acknowledged the disruption caused to passengers but said safety decisions would continue to take precedence over schedule performance.
The airline stressed that no aircraft would be returned to service until its technical teams and required safety procedures confirmed that it was fit to fly.
It said the same principle would apply where weather, technical conditions, wildlife strikes or other safety concerns required an aircraft to remain grounded.
Air Peace said it was taking steps to stabilize operations, strengthen contingency planning and improve passenger communication when unforeseen disruptions occur.
The carrier apologized specifically to customers who had been kept waiting, missed connections or been forced to rearrange travel plans.
It said the immediate objective was to minimise the operational impact while maintaining safety standards.
The disruptions illustrate the vulnerability of airline schedules when several aircraft are simultaneously affected by technical, weather and supply-chain constraints.
Air Peace said it remained committed to improving reliability while refusing to compromise safety in order to maintain published schedules.
