Green Africa, a domestic airline, has announced the temporary suspension of its flight operations due to an unexpected issue with its aircraft lessor, with services set to resume after the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations. In a statement on Sunday, Babawande Afolabi, the airline’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), assured customers of the airline’s commitment to transparency and swift resolution of the situation. “In line with our commitment to transparency at Green Africa, I am reaching out to keep you informed of a sudden and unexpected development with our aircraft lessor that prevents us from operating our flights over the next few days,” he said.
Despite efforts to manage the issue and minimise disruptions, Afolabi noted that the airline had no choice but to suspend operations temporarily. “Unfortunately, we will not be able to operate until after the Eid-Al-Fitr holidays. We understand the inconvenience that this may cause to you, and we sincerely apologise to our valued customers who will be impacted by this disruption to our flight schedule,” he added.
Reassuring customers, he stated that Green Africa is actively working towards resuming operations as quickly as possible. Passengers with existing bookings will receive direct communication regarding refunds, rebooking options, and alternative travel arrangements.
The airline also advised customers to check its official website and social media channels for the latest updates on flight operations.
