Aircraft
Flight delay, passengers thinking to sue airline. Following a four-hour flight delay by Nigerian commercial airline Air Peace, some customers have expressed their outrage and displeasure.
An X user, @iSlimfit, shared footage on Friday showing a moment where the plane’s power pack failed to work, causing the aircraft to be unable to shut down.
Before the plane could be manually shut off, another power pack was obtained.
“8 a.m. flight finally took off 2 p.m. after the power pack that can power the airplane was replaced,” according to the tweets. We arrived in Abuja at 1 p.m. but were not permitted to disembark because the jet refused to power down.
“They had to go find another power pack to shut down the aircraft manually.” In any case, never again!”
“For an 8 a.m. flight, this is past 10 and we’re still here,” one passenger said in one of the recordings. Air Safety! Apparently, the plane is defective, and the pilot has been attempting to simply navigate and make it work for the previous two hours until people began shouting, at which point they had to like, we gotta come out eventually.
“Anyway, we’ve arrived. There was no communication, nothing. “Everyone has been stranded.”
“People have missed their appointments,” the tweet continued. I didn’t make it to my event.
“Worse, there was no apology, explanation, or compensation.” In this country, people get away with a lot of nonsense.
“Anyway, all passengers have agreed to file a class action lawsuit against @flyairpeace, particularly those who have had multiple such experiences with them.”
“Let’s put the system through its paces. Hopefully, this will have a beneficial conclusion.”
“We have to sue, we have to take this thing to court,” one passenger remarked. They’ll keep doing this foolishness if we don’t do something.”
“This is my third time – third experience with Air Peace,” stated another.
