Passengers Stranded Nationwide as Nimet Strike Grounds Air Peace Flights

Air Peace Airlines has announced the suspension of all flight operations across Nigeria in response to a strike by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), leading to major disruptions at airports nationwide. The strike, which commenced on April 22, 2025, has left thousands of passengers stranded, with many expressing frustration over the lack of communication from the airline.

In an official statement, Air Peace explained that the suspension was due to the halt in NiMet’s provision of the Current Nowcast of Hazardous Weather (CNH) reports. These reports are critical for ensuring safe landings, particularly during the current season of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.
“As a responsible airline committed to passenger safety, we have made the decision to suspend our operations until NiMet resumes its full services,” the airline’s statement read. Passengers were reassured that they would be contacted with options for rescheduling and updates on the situation.
