..says social media video laced with falsehood
In response to a recent video circulating on social media alleging misconduct during a London-Lagos flight on April 8, 2024, Air Peace has issued a statement clarifying the situation.
The video’s claims, according to Air Peace, are unfounded and misleading. Here are the key points provided by the airline:
Counter Closure: Air Peace clarified that the passenger in question arrived late after the check-in phase had concluded. The closure of the counter was in accordance with Gatwick Airport’s slot-based operations and not prematurely, as claimed in the video.
Overbooking Allegation: The airline disputed allegations of overbooking the flight, stating that both UK and Nigeria Civil Aviation Authorities could verify this. The flight departed with vacant seats, contrary to the video’s assertion.
Departure Time: Air Peace emphasized that the flight’s departure time was scheduled for 11:10 am and required adherence to designated timelines.
Air Peace reaffirmed its commitment to passenger satisfaction and urged cooperation in adhering to stipulated schedules to facilitate smooth travel experiences.
