Leading indigenous airline, Air Peace this evening announced indefinite suspension of all flight operations siting the ongoing strike by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet).
In a terse statement signed by the Head, Corporate Communications, Dr. Ejike Ndiulo and made available to Business Hilights, the airline averred that “We regret to inform you that due to the ongoing strike by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Air Peace is suspending all flight operations nationwide with immediate effect.
“This decision is necessary because NiMet is the agency responsible for issuing CNH (Current Nowcast of Hazardous Weather) reports, which are critical for safe landings, especially during this season of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. Without these reports from the control tower, flight safety cannot be guaranteed.
Air Peace further noted that “As a safety-first airline, we have chosen to act responsibly by suspending operations until NiMet resumes full service.
It added that “We understand this may cause inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize. Passengers will be contacted with updates and options for rescheduling,” and thanked her numerous customers for understanding assuring that operations will begin as soon as the strike is called off.
