Yuletide: Air Peace deploys more aircraft to satisfy passenger demand
Nigeria’s leading carrier, Air Peace, has assured intending travellers of its adequate preparations to effectively service all its routes during the yuletide season.
In anticipation of huge passenger demand during the period, especially on its South-East and South-South routes, the airline said it is making provision for wide-bodied aircraft with enough seating capacity to accommodate large numbers of passengers.
TW gathered that some of the airline’s aircraft ferried abroad for maintenance have started returning and would be deployed to those destinations currently underserved to ensure that it meet the travel demand of its customers.
In the buildup of preparations towards the festive period, Air Peace advised all intending travellers who are yet to book flights for their trips to take advantage of its exceptional offers, as it will soon roll out its Christmas schedule, which would ensure that every route is effectively serviced.
The assurance was contained in a statement signed by the airline’s Chief Operating Officer, Mrs. Toyin Olajide, who emphasised that more aircraft would be deployed to all destinations with high passenger demand.
“It has come to our notice that a lot of South-South and South Eastbound passengers are frustrated at the lack of available airline seats for their trips this Yuletide season and have become apprehensive as a result.
We wish to assure them that Air Peace shall provide enough flights to accommodate all who wish to travel. We are yet to roll out our Christmas schedule as our planes have started arriving in the country from maintenance checks abroad.
“We shall be rolling out multiple flight schedules for the season from the 16th of December for the following destinations: Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo, Calabar, Port Harcourt and Benin. We assure our teeming Passengers of top-notch service and safe trips,” Mrs. Olajide said.
TW gathered that many airlines have already announced that their flights have been fully booked to the Eastern and South South destinations.
To alleviate the situation, Air Peace has stepped in to provide more aircraft for intending travellers, a laudable and patriotic move by the largest indigenous airline.
