Air Peace Limited, the largest airline in West /Central Africa region, says barricading of the entrances to its departure terminals at Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 1 (Alpha and Zulu Terminals) and Terminal 2 in Lagos, as well as the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Terminal in Abuja, has resulted to the disruption f its flights and impacted on its passengers.
This is just as the airline appealed to air travellers for the inconveniences the disruption may have caused them.
Air Peace disclosed this in a statement signed by the management and made available to aviation journalists in Lagos.
“We wish to inform our esteemed passengers and the general flying public of temporary disruptions to our flight operations arising from the picketing of our airline and the ongoing industrial action by members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
“The ongoing industrial action has resulted in the barricading of the entrances to our departure terminals at Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 1 (Alpha and Zulu Terminals) and Terminal 2 in Lagos, as well as the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Terminal in Abuja.
The blockade has restricted access to these terminals, preventing the departure of scheduled flights from Lagos and Abuja.
Consequently, passengers scheduled to travel across our network have been significantly affected by the disruption to flight operations,” Air Peace said.
Air Peace apologised to all affected and stranded passengers for the disruption and inconvenience caused by circumstances beyond the airline’s control.
The statement informed that passengers scheduled to travel later today are being contacted and provided with relevant updates as the situation evolves.
Air Peace, the statement said continues to closely monitor developments and will provide further updates as necessary.
“We appreciate the patience and understanding of our passengers as we navigate this situation,” he said.
