Air Peace says it will resume flight operations to Johannesburg on Sunday, October 9. 

The airline said this in a statement signed by its management and released on Saturday.

“This is to inform the flying public that our Johannesburg service resumes on Sunday, October 9, 2022,” the statement reads.

“The schedules are now live on our website/mobile app, and you can now book your flights to South Africa.

“For assistance with your flights or any other enquiries, kindly contact us via [email protected].

“We look forward to having you on board.”

The development comes seven weeks after the airline suspended flight operations on the route due to the delayed issuance of South African visas to travellers as well as a hike in aviation fuel prices.

“However, having informed the South African high commission in Lagos of the effects of the difficulty in getting SA visas by Nigerians, which consequence is the abysmally low passenger loads on our flights to and from Johannesburg, we believe that the situation will have improved within the next 60 days. Hence, our willingness to resume operations on October 8, 2022,” the airline had said.

The airline also connects to other countries in Africa including Accra in Ghana and Dakar in Senegal.
