Nigeria's domestic carrier, Air Peace has approved hundreds of free tickets for passengers who flew two of its Abuja-Lagos aircraft at the weekend.

The free tickets to 196 passengers, the airline said, were to compensate them for the delayed take-off of their flights.

Vice Chairman of Air Peace, Mrs. Alice Onyema, who was on one of the affected flights, made the announcement to the surprised passengers.

The flights, the airline said, were delayed due to unfavourable weather and VIP landings.

Air Peace assured that its customers were at the core of its operations and would do everything within its powers to satisfy them.

The passengers, who have already been communicated, expressed surprise at the airline's benevolence and interest in satisfying its customers.

Air Peace also recently issued hundreds of free tickets to its loyal customers under its Peace Advantage programme.
