NCAA Directs Air Peace To Compensate Passengers Over Delayed Flight
The regulator said the airline sent the wrong notice and must cover affected passengers or face sanctions under passenger-rights rules.
- On Monday, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority directed Air Peace to compensate passengers after an investigation found the airline sent incorrect notifications regarding a delayed Lagos-Enugu flight.
- Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong was stranded at Murtala Muhammed Airport after the flight was rescheduled from 6:45 a.m. to 4:50 p.m., causing him to miss a scheduled court appearance in Enugu State.
- NCAA Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection Michael Achimugu confirmed the airline sent incorrect messages, attributing the disruption to ripple effects of Sunday night's flight issues.
- Under Part 19 of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations, airlines must provide delay reasons within 30 minutes, with the NCAA warning that failure to compensate passengers will trigger heavy sanctions.
- Air Peace disputed an NCAA report listing 1,330 delayed flights out of 1,864, asserting it actually operated 2,564 flights during the month—more than 700 above the regulator's recorded figure.
