Air Peace has accused SmartLynx Airlines of engaging in a “premeditated and fraudulent” breach of contract following the abrupt withdrawal of four wet-leased aircraft — an action the Nigerian carrier says triggered widespread flight delays and cancellations in recent days.
At a press briefing in Lagos, the airline’s Chief Commercial Officer, Nowel Ngala, briefed journalists on the disruptions, assuring passengers that normal operations would be restored as Air Peace aircraft currently undergoing maintenance begin returning to service.
Ngala apologised to passengers for the inconvenience but stressed that the disruptions were caused by “an unjustified and reckless action” from SmartLynx.
