Air Peace has said that it will resume flight operations on Friday following the suspension of strike by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency workers.
The airline’s Head of Corporate Communications, Dr. Ejike Ndiulo, made the disclosure in a statement he issued on Thursday night in Lagos.
According to Ndiulo, Air Peace is grateful to its customers and the general public for their patience, understanding, and support throughout the period of the strike.
He said: “Your resilience and trust in our brand mean the world to us.
“We commend the active and decisive intervention of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN), whose leadership and commitment were pivotal in resolving the impasse and restoring normalcy within the aviation industry.”
Ndiulo noted the minister’s swift engagement with aviation stakeholders, his transparent approach and his dedication to the stability and progress of the aviation sector.
According to him, Keyamo’s efforts not only facilitated the timely resolution of the industrial dispute, but also underscored his broader vision for a safer, more efficient, and investor-friendly Nigerian aviation industry.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that NIMET workers on Thursday shelved the strike, which began on April 22, following Keyamo’s intervention.
The workers downed tools in protest of alleged poor working conditions, including non-implementation of the 2019 Consequential Adjustment to the National Minimum Wage (affecting at least 30 staff).
They are also demanding a 25/35 percent salary increase, 40 percent hardship/peculiar allowance, and annual staff training.
Keyamo had promised to find lasting solutions to the problems.
