Power surge disrupts Air Peace flights, causes delays nationwide

Air Peace has said a power surge that affected its IT infrastructure disrupted flight operations on Monday, causing delays across its route network.

In a statement issued on Monday, the airline explained that the power surge damaged a critical server responsible for crew scheduling and flight planning.

The airline said the technical problem resulted in delays on some flights as its engineers worked with service providers to restore the affected systems and return operations to normal.

“The disruption was caused by a power surge which impacted a critical IT infrastructure server supporting our crew scheduling and flight planning processes,” the statement reads.

“As a result, some flights have experienced delays while our technical teams work with our service providers to fully restore the affected infrastructure.”

Air Peace apologised to passengers for the disruption, saying it understood the impact the delays may have on their travel plans.

The airline said safety remains its priority and assured customers that efforts were underway to restore normal operations as quickly as possible.

“We expect the maintenance and restoration work to be completed today, after which flight operations will progressively return to normal,” Air Peace said.

The airline also advised passengers to monitor its official communication channels for updates on their flight schedules
