The airline clarified that although it submitted a petition over a year ago regarding NLC’s disruption of its operations, it had since resolved the issue with the NLC and withdrew the complaint.

The airline expressed concern over the negative publicity resulting from these reports.

Makinwa added that Air Peace was not involved in the dispute between the NLC and the Imo State Government, which initially led to the disruption of its services.
