BREAKING: Air Peace suspends flight operations nationwide over NiMet strike

Air Peace has suspended all flight operations across the country due to the ongoing strike by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet).

 

In a statement on Wednesday, the airline said it is also suspending operations due to the unavailability of QNH (hazardous weather) reports required for safe landings.

 

“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,” Air Peace said.

 

“Your safety is our top priority. We appreciate your understanding and will share updates as the situation unfolds.”

The airline had earlier announced that the NiMet strike could lead to flight delays and cancellations across its network.

 

Air Peace added that it was monitoring the situation and working with relevant stakeholders to minimise the impact on customers’ travel plans.

 

Employees of NiMet commenced a nationwide indefinite strike over welfare issues today.

 

Some of the issues include “NiMet’s refusal to negotiate or implement agreed financial allowances and unresolved entitlements,” including wage awards, peculiar allowances, and outstanding payments from the 2019 minimum wage.

 

They also accused the management of the agency of withholding important documents, ignoring requests for inclusion of omitted staff in past payments, and neglecting key training programmes in favour of executive retreats.
