Air Peace resumes operations as NiMET workers suspend strike

Air Peace has announced that it will fully resume flight operations on Friday, April 25, 2025, following the suspension of the industrial action by staff and unions of the Nigerian Meteorological Agency.

In a statement released on Thursday by the Head of Corporate Communications at Air Peace, Ejike Ndiulo, the airline expressed its appreciation to its customers and stakeholders for their support during the disruption.

“Air Peace is pleased to announce the resumption of all flight operations on Friday, April 25, 2025, following the suspension of the industrial action by the NIMET and other unions in the aviation sector.”

“We sincerely thank you for your patience, understanding, and unwavering support throughout this challenging period. Your resilience and trust in our brand mean the world to us,” the statement read.

The airline also lauded the intervention of the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, in restoring calm and resolving the impasse.

“Keyamo’s swift engagement with all stakeholders, his transparent approach to dialogue, and his unwavering dedication to the stability and progress of the aviation sector reflect a deep understanding of the critical role aviation plays in national development,” it said.

Recall that the airline had previously announced the suspension of flights in a statement on Wednesday.

“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,” the airline said in a statement on Wednesday.
