Due to unanticipated maintenance needs, Air Peace has formally declared that flights to and from Warri, Ibadan, Akure, Ilorin, Calabar, and Uyo would no longer operate.
Ejike Ndiulo, Head of Corporate Communications for Air Peace, said in a statement on Wednesday that these cancellations will impact flight operations on Wednesday and Thursday, January 15 and 16, 2025.
To minimize any difficulty, the airline made sure that all impacted customers were informed as soon as possible via a variety of contact channels.
Air Peace reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards and offered its heartfelt apologies for the interruptions. It is advised that travelers consult flight schedules or contact customer service if they need more assistance.
“Dear Respected Client, Due to unforeseen maintenance, we would like to notify you that flights to and from Warri and Ibadan have been canceled. For the same reason, flights to Akure, Ilorin, Calabar, and Uyo have also been canceled.
According to the statement, “operations today and tomorrow will be impacted by these cancellations.”
Recall that on December 27, 2024, Chris Najomo, the Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), asked for a meeting with the CEOs of all Nigerian domestic airlines.
This is because there are frequent airline cancellations and delays throughout the holiday season.
On Thursday, Michael Achimugu, the NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, revealed this on his X account.

Achimugu described an incident that happened to him when he was attempting to board his flight.
“This evening, I entered the scene while attempting to board a flight for myself. The passengers were so enraged that they threatened to turn violent.
For almost twenty minutes, I spoke with them directly and said that if the weather was really terrible, I would check with the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, or NiMET. He said, “I also clarified that in the event of force majeure, the airline is not liable.”
He claims that in spite of this, he took some action to allay passenger worries.
