The update followed reports and footage circulating across the media and social media showing some of its esteemed passengers expressing their concerns over the disruptions.
Explaining, the management of the airline in a statement said that the initial delays to its Abuja operations were occasioned by the unavailability of Jet A1 aviation fuel, which affected Air Peace and other airlines operating from the airport.
