    Kano Air Peace Passengers Stranded As Airline Reschedules 4pm Flight To 1am

    By Khadija AbubakarFebruary 3, 2024
    Air Peace Delayed

    AIRLINE passengers travelling from Kano to Abuja on Air Peace Airline (P47425) have been left stranded as the airline rescheduled its flight time from 4.50pm on Friday Feb. 2 to 1am Feb. 3.

    This newspaper reports that the airline first sent emails to travellers that its original flight time of (16.50) 4.50pm had been moved to 8.55pm

    After check-in and a long wait at the airport, the airline announced at 9.15pm that the aircraft meant to lift the passengers from Kano would arrive at 10.20pm

    UBA

    The airline at 10.20pm announced that the aircraft would arrive instead at 1am

    Some passengers were served carbonated drinks and biscuits after they called out the airline for shabby service and taking advantage of its passengers.

    The dissatisfied customers challenged the airline staff, demanding explanations.

    Mr Wole Adeyeye, in an interview with this newspaper, expressed his frustration with the delay.

    “Who is going to be held responsible for us getting to Lagos or Abuja by 1am or 2am. This is not right at all and definitely not fair to passengers.

    “It is really frustrating and disheartening the way passengers are being treated because what happens is that they take your money, get you to the airport and then dump you there.

    “Nobody cares where you are going to or how you even get there,” he said.

    Another passenger, Prof. A. Mohammed of Ahmadu Bello University demanded accommodation for passengers.

    “I feel very bad. The confusion here and time wasting, is it correct?

    “If we are to leave here by 1am, they should make accommodation available for us because it is not safe for us to go to our destinations in the wee hours of the morning knowing the insecurity of the country.

    “After such a long time, they only offered us Fanta; is it Fanta we came to the airport to drink? How can you treat people this way,” he asked?

    Also, Mrs Mercy Abu told this newspaper that the airline had, in December, delayed her flight multiple times till 1am after which she got to Lagos by 3am

    This newspaper reports that other passengers travelling from Kano to Lagos faced the same fate. The airline, after an uproar by passengers, said it could only accommodate 50 passengers to Lagos on a smaller jet stationed in Kano.

    Air Peace Station Manager, Mr Muhyideen Sanni, appealed for calm as agitated passengers insisted all passengers must fly to Lagos together.

    He explained that the flight to Lagos was delayed due to a technical fault and urged passengers to volunteer to stay back at the airport while vulnerable passengers, including mothers with infants and the aged, be allowed on the smaller aircraft.

    As motivation, he said the airline would provide dinner for those who volunteered to stay back and a 25 per cent discount on their next flight with the airline.

    After negotiations and considerations, some passengers offered to stay back. The 50 passengers to Lagos boarded at about 11.54 p.m. while the volunteers slept on chairs at the airport.

    There were no explanations for the delay of the Abuja flight.

    Passengers bound for Abuja boarded at 12.45 a.m. and took off at 12.55 a.m., leaving behind the Lagos bound volunteer passengers whose fate was yet to be determined at the time of filing this report.
