Air Peace has canceled all flight operations nationwide following a protest by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). Union members at the airline's terminals have locked them up, causing disruption to flights across Nigeria. Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos is particularly affected, with several flights, including one scheduled to depart at 6:30 a.m., unable to take off.
When contacted, the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) confirmed the situation and said more details would be provided later. A passenger reported being stranded at the Lagos airport due to the ongoing protest, and another user on social media shared that a 9:00 a.m. appointment in Abuja was now impossible due to the airport shutdown.
The airline has yet to release a statement about the incident, and it remains unclear if other airlines have been impacted.
