“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 news comes seven weeks after the airline halted flights on the route due to a delay in the issuance of South African visas to passengers, as well as an increase 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,” Air Peace had said in August, 2022.
