Air Peace, Nigeria’s largest carrier, has reaffirmed its steadfast commitment to passenger safety and operational integrity following a precautionary air return on one of its Lagos–Port Harcourt flights earlier today.
In an official update released via the airline’s verified Instagram handle, Air Peace explained that the decision to return to base was purely precautionary and taken in line with global aviation safety standards after the flight crew observed an indication requiring further technical checks.
According to the statement titled “Flight Operations Update”, the flight, which had departed Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos for Port Harcourt, was recalled shortly after takeoff to ensure that every potential irregularity was properly assessed before proceeding. The airline emphasized that at no time were passengers in danger, and the entire procedure was executed with professionalism and adherence to safety protocols.
“Our experienced pilots made a proactive decision to return the aircraft for further inspection. This measure underscores our zero-compromise policy on passenger safety and aircraft maintenance,” the airline stated.
Upon return to Lagos, all passengers were safely disembarked and provided with necessary assistance while a replacement aircraft was arranged to continue the journey. Air Peace’s technical and maintenance teams promptly commenced inspection of the aircraft in question to determine the source of the alert and ensure it was fully rectified before returning it to service.
This development once again highlights the airline’s operational transparency and its unwavering adherence to the safety principles guiding the aviation industry.
