NiMET Strike: United Nigeria Airlines assures passengers of safety

Amid the strike by Nigerian Meteorological Agency workers, United Nigeria Airlines has reassured its passengers that its operations remain safe and fully compliant with regulatory standards.
This was stated in a statement signed by the airline’s spokesperson, Chibuike Uloka, on Thursday.
According to the airline, while NiMet provides essential meteorological support to the aviation sector, the airline’s operations continue seamlessly through the deployment of alternative and internationally recognised weather data sources.
It said the organised weather data sources included real-time satellite monitoring, global aviation meteorology systems, pilot weather reports, and air traffic control services coordination.
“Our flight planning and dispatch teams are fully equipped and working round the clock to ensure that all safety protocols are strictly observed and passenger comfort remains uninterrupted.
“We recognise the importance of NiMet’s role in aviation safety and join the wider industry in calling for swift and constructive resolution of the strike to minimise any potential disruption to flight operations nationwide,” it said.
The staff of NiMET embarked on an indefinite strike on April 22.
