The industrial action embarked upon by the workers of Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) may have taken a huge toll on airlines as Air Peace has suspended all its flight operations nationwide with immediate effect.
In a signed circular, Air Peace said its decision was necessary because NiMet is the agency responsible for issuing Current Nowcast of Hazardous Weather reports, which are critical for safe landings, especially during this season of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.
It noted that without these reports from the control tower, flight safety cannot be guaranteed.

Dear Valued Customer,
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.
As a safety-first airline, we have chosen to act responsibly by suspending operations until NiMet resumes full service.
We understand this may cause inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize. Passengers will be contacted with updates and options for rescheduling.
Thank you for your understanding.
