The management further noted that the video's creation by“faceless individuals” was aimed at damaging Air Peace’s reputation.
According to Air Peace, the video, circulating widely on social media, falsely portrayed an incident during passenger boarding in Abuja.
It further noted that significant flight delays were caused by severe harmattan haze and fog, impacting visibility and flight operations across the country, pointing out that, to mitigate passenger disruption, the airline deployed three aircraft to Abuja to evacuate passengers.
Head of Corporate Communications at Air Peace, Dr. Ejike Ndiulo, who spoke said that the situation at the boarding gate became overwhelmed as passengers rushed towards the aircraft.
