“I and other passengers waited and saw the attitude of the airline staff members who could not address us or communicate to us on the flight cancellation. This attitude is unbecoming of a global airline”,she said.

Another passenger expressed his displeasure and noted that his trip from Lagos to Akure was also rescheduled and he had to board another airline to allow him get to Ondo town in time for the Ekimogun Day.

Demanding for a refund, he noted that his confidence in the airline was in doubt as the airline rescheduled trips at will.

However, the management of Air Peace in a text message to the stranded passengers, apologized for the cancellation of the Lagos bound flight.

The airline further approved a fifty percent discounted ticket (exclusive of tax) on any domestic routes as compensation for the inconvenience caused.
