Air Peace Flight Diverts To Lagos Over Poor Visibility In Asaba | Sahara Reporters

The airline, in a flight operations update issued on August 27, 2026, said flight P47860 was unable to land in Asaba because of the weather condition.

Air Peace has announced that one of its flights scheduled to operate from Lagos to Asaba was diverted back to Lagos on Thursday due to poor visibility around the runway at the Asaba airport.

The airline, in a flight operations update issued on August 27, 2026, said flight P47860 was unable to land in Asaba because of the weather condition.

According to the statement signed by Air Peace spokesperson, Osifo-Whiskey Efe, the diversion disrupted the affected flight and was expected to cause delays across some of the airline’s operating network.

“This unforeseen development has disrupted the flight and other flights across our operating networks will be delayed,” the airline said.

Air Peace apologised to affected passengers, stressing that the safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew remained its priority.

“We deeply regret the inconvenience caused and be assured that the safety and well-being of our passengers and crew remain our top priority and guide for every operational decision we make,” the airline said.

The airline advised passengers seeking further assistance or updates on their flights to contact its customer service centre via email or telephone.

The incident comes amid operational challenges associated with poor visibility, which can affect aircraft landing and take-off operations, particularly during adverse weather conditions.
