NIMET STRIKE: AIR PEACE SUSPENDS FLIGHT OPERATIONS NATIONWIDE
Air Peace Ltd has declared the suspension of all flight operations nationwide due to the ongoing strike by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency.
The announcement was made in a statement signed by Dr. Ejike Ndiulo, Head of Corporate Communications at Air Peace, on Wednesday in Lagos.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Ndiulo explained that the decision was essential because NiMet, responsible for issuing the Current Nowcast of Hazardous Weather (CNH) reports, plays a crucial role in ensuring safe landings, particularly during this season of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.
He said without these reports from the control tower, flight safety could not be guaranteed.
“Due to the ongoing NiMet strike and the unavailability of QNH (hazardous weather) reports required for safe landings, Air Peace has suspended all flight operations nationwide until the strike is over.
“Your safety is our top priority. We appreciate your understanding and will share updates as the situation unfolds.” he said
