On Sunday, May 19th, 2024, we issued an update regarding disruptions in our flight schedules due to the unscheduled and extended grounding of two of our 787 Dreamliners. This grounding was caused by constraint in delivery of engine components. Today, we are pleased to announce that we have received the necessary engine components for one of the affected aircraft.

We would like to notify our customers that we are experiencing a system outage that has impacted some of our core services, including our booking system, flight status updates, and customer support. This outage is as a result of damage to the undersea cable as communicated by our internet service provider. This was further exercebated by the road closures which made it difficult for some of our employees to attend their workstations on time, leading us to reschedule and cancel some of our flights.
