Nigerian airline Air Peace has defended its frequent flight delays and cancellations, stating that safety concerns, not profit, dictate its operations. This comes after the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) warned the airline to improve its services following passenger complaints.

In a strong rebuttal, Air Peace insisted that it never cancels flights "for fun" and prioritizes passenger safety above all else. The airline explained that weather conditions, technical issues, and operational safety standards often force last-minute cancellations.
The NCAA had earlier accused Air Peace of over-scheduling flights beyond its available aircraft, leading to disruptions. However, the airline fired back, stating it has more planes than currently rostered and that delays are not due to fleet shortages.

“We do not regret canceling flights if safety is at risk,” Air Peace said. “We lose money when flights are delayed, but we will never compromise safety for convenience or profit.”
