Air Peace has announced the suspension of all flight operations nationwide over the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet).
The Head of Corporate Communications, Air Peace, Dr Ejike Ndiulo, announced this via a statement on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
Ndiulo said the decision was necessary because NiMet is the agency responsible for issuing CNH (Current Nowcast of Hazardous Weather) reports, critical for safe landings, especially during the season of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.
The Air Peace spokesperson said without these reports from the control tower, flight safety could not be guaranteed.

Ndiulo stated: “As a safety-first airline, we have chosen to act responsibly by suspending operations until NiMet resumes full service.
“We understand this may cause inconvenience, and we sincerely apologise. Passengers will be contacted with updates and options for rescheduling.”
NiMet workers commenced an indefinite strike on Wednesday over the condition of service and other demands.
