Air Peace has announced the suspension of all flight operations nationwide due to the ongoing strike by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET). The decision was made in a statement signed by the head of corporate communications, Air Peace, Ejike Ndiulo. According to Ndiulo, the suspension is necessary because NiMET is responsible for issuing critical weather reports that ensure safe landings, particularly during the current season of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. “Without these reports from the control tower, flight safety could not be guaranteed,” he explained. As a safety-first airline, Air Peace has chosen to act responsibly by suspending operations until NiMET resumes full service. “We understand this may cause inconvenience, and we sincerely apologise,” Ndiulo said. “Passengers will be contacted with updates and options for rescheduling.” The strike by NiMET staff commenced on Tuesday over demands related to conditions of service and other issues. Air Peace’s decision aims to prioritize passenger safety amid the disruption caused by the strike.
