Air Peace Limited has announced the suspension of all flight operations nationwide due to the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Head of Corporate Communications, Air Peace, Dr. Ejike Ndiulo, on Wednesday in Lagos.
According to Ndiulo, the decision is necessary because NiMet is the agency responsible for issuing CNH (Current Nowcast of Hazardous Weather) reports, critical for safe landings, especially during this season of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.
He said without these reports from the control tower, flight safety could not be guaranteed.
He said: “As a safety-first airline, we have chosen to act responsibly by suspending operations until NiMet resumes full service.
