Air Peace has announced a temporary disruption to its Lagos–London Gatwick service after a minor technical issue was detected during a routine inspection of one of its aircraft.
In a statement posted on its official X account on Saturday, the airline explained that the issue was discovered shortly after passengers had boarded the aircraft, prompting the immediate withdrawal of the plane from service in accordance with standard safety procedures.
“Following the completion of passenger boarding, a routine post-boarding technical check identified a minor aircraft fault that required immediate attention,” the airline stated.
According to the airline, all passengers were safely disembarked while its engineering team worked to resolve the issue.
Air Peace stressed that passenger and crew safety remains its top priority, noting that the decision to suspend the flight was necessary to guarantee the safety of everyone onboard.
“At Air Peace, the safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew will always take precedence over operational schedules,” the statement read.
“While we understand the inconvenience this situation may have caused, taking swift preventive action was the responsible and necessary decision,” it added.
The carrier further disclosed that affected passengers were immediately informed about the development and provided with hotel accommodation and other support services.
Air Peace also confirmed that a replacement aircraft would be deployed from London to operate the delayed flight.
“To minimise further disruption, a replacement aircraft from London will be dispatched and passengers are scheduled to depart this morning,” the airline said.
The airline thanked passengers for their patience and cooperation during the delay, while reaffirming its commitment to safe and reliable flight operations.
