The Management of Air Peace airline has reduced its Abuja-London service to three flights per week until July 1, 2026.
The airline, while noting that the adjustment takes effect immediately, attributed the schedule adjustment to the current local and global Jet A1 supply constraints.
The airline further explained that the measure was proactive to ensure operational safety during the stated period.
This was contained in a statement released on Saturday by the airline's management.
The statement titled: ‘Temporary schedule adjustment’ reads: "We sincerely appreciate your continued trust and loyalty. Due to the current Jet A1 (aviation fuel) supply constraints affecting flight operations nationwide and around the world, we wish to inform you that our Abuja-London service has been temporarily adjusted to three weekly flights until 01 July, 2026
"This measure is necessary to maintain the highest standards of safety and operational reliability during this period, with full operational frequency on our London service scheduled to resume from 01 July 2026.
"We recognise that this adjustment may impact your travel plans, and we deeply appreciate your patience and understanding. Please be assured that we are actively monitoring the situation and working closely with relevant stakeholders.”

The airline also noted that as supply conditions improve, it will promptly restore its full schedule and keep passengers informed with timely updates.
It advised passengers whose bookings are affected by the change to contact its call centre team.
Last week, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) raised concern on potential shortage of jet fuel.
IATA's Director General, Willie Walsh, described the International Energy Agency (IEA) assessment of potential jet fuel shortages as sobering.
The statement by Walsh reads: "The IEA's assessment of potential jet fuel shortages is sobering.
"We have also estimated that by the end of May, we could start to see some cancellations in Europe due to a lack of jet fuel. This is already happening in parts of Asia.
"Along with doing everything possible to secure alternative supply lines, it’s important that authorities have well-communicated and well-coordinated plans in place in case rationing becomes necessary, including for slot relief,” the statement said.
