Air Peace says it has suspended all flights scheduled to Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, Enugu State.
The airline attributed the development to what it described as the deteriorating airport infrastructure which it said has continued to raise safety concerns.
The airline complained about the airport runway, which it said has been causing a major disruption to its flights. Necessitating the decision to suspend further flights into the airport until further notice.
This was made known in a statement by Air Peace on Saturday morning.
The airline lamented that the situation at the Enugu airport runway can no longer be managed, calling on the authorities to wade into the situation urgently.
“At Air Peace, we prioritise safety first over convenience. We believe that if flights are not operated into this aerodrome for the next few days, it will allow the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria the opportunity to perform the necessary repairs on the runway,” the airline stated.
Air Peace said that all flights scheduled into and out of Enugu will now be operated from Asaba, Delta State.
“Please be informed that all flights scheduled into and out of Enugu will now be operated into and out of Asaba.
“We regret any inconvenience this change may have caused,” the airline added.
