Air Peace has reduced its Abuja to London flight frequency to three times a week due to Jet A1 fuel supply constraints. The airline announced the change in a statement posted on X on Saturday. The adjustment is described as temporary, with no end date specified. The original schedule included more than three weekly flights, though the exact prior frequency was not stated. The airline did not disclose which days the flights will operate. Passengers are advised to check the airline's official platforms for updated schedules. No refunds or rebooking fees will be applied for affected bookings, according to the statement. The fuel shortage challenge has affected several Nigerian airlines in recent months. Air Peace operates the only direct passenger flight between Nigeria and the UK. The airline did not name the suppliers or specify the cause of the Jet A1 shortage.
Air Peace cites fuel shortages for cutting international flights, yet Nigeria exported petroleum products in the same period. The reduction affects Nigerians who rely on the only direct air link between Abuja and London. If local refineries are not supplying Jet A1, the logic behind reduced flights while exports continue is unclear. Passengers face disruption without clarity on who is responsible for the supply gap.
