Following the frustration expressed by passengers over inadequate flights ahead of the yuletide festivities, Air Peace on Saturday vowed to deploy more flights in the next few days.

It assured customers that it has made adequate preparations to effectively service all its routes during the Christmas season, especially South East and South-South destinations.

The airline said some of its aircraft ferried abroad for maintenance have started returning and would be deployed to those destinations currently underserved to ensure that it meets the travel demands of its customers.

Daily Trust reports that ahead of the Christmas celebration, flights to many destinations especially the South-South and South-East states are reportedly sold out as many passengers could not book even as at yesterday.

Several attempts by our correspondent to book flights to Owerri, Port Harcourt, among others were said to have been sold out.

But Air Peace, which has the highest number of aircraft, assured all passengers who are yet to get flights for their trips during the Christmas season that the airline has the capacity to airlift them to their respective destinations.

The airline said it was yet to roll out its Christmas schedule, which would ensure that every route is effectively serviced.

Chief Operating Officer of the airline, Mrs. Toyin Olajide told newsmen on Sunday that more aircraft would be deployed to all destinations with high passenger demand.

She said, “It has come to our notice that a lot of South- South and South East bound passengers are frustrated at the lack of available airline seats for their trips this Yuletide season and have become apprehensive as a result.

“We wish to assure them that Air Peace shall provide enough flights to accommodate all who wish to travel. We are yet to roll out our Christmas schedule as our planes have started arriving in the country from maintenance checks abroad.

“We shall be rolling out multiple flight schedules for the season from the 16th of December for the following destinations: Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo, Calabar, Port Harcourt and Benin. We assure our teeming Passengers of top-notch service and safe trips,” Mrs. Olajide said.
