Air Peace has announced that it will restart flight operations across Nigeria on Friday, April 25, 2025, after the Nigerian Meteorological Agency suspended its strike.
This was revealed in a statement on Thursday by the airline’s Head of Corporate Communications, Ejike Ndiulo.
“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,” the statement read.
The airline thanked its passengers and stakeholders for standing by the company during the disruption caused by the strike.
“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 airline said.
Air Peace also praised the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, for stepping in quickly to resolve the matter.
“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,” the statement added.
The airline had earlier suspended all its flights on Wednesday due to the strike by NiMET workers.
It explained that the lack of weather updates—known as QNH reports—made it unsafe to operate.
“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,” the airline had said.
“Your safety is our top priority,” it added.
With the strike now suspended, flight services are expected to return to normal from Friday.
