Domestic airlines have resumed flight operations following the temporary suspension of industrial action by aviation unions.
The development came hours after the industrial action disrupted flights and left passengers stranded at airports across the country.
Spokesperson for Air Peace, Osifo-Whiskey Efe, while addressing newsmen on Tuesday, said the airline had resumed operations but was still working to accommodate passengers affected by the industrial action.
According to him, the airline operates about 70 regional and international flights daily and had cancelled 29 flights as of Tuesday afternoon, with further cancellations possible as it worked to determine how many flights could operate with passengers waiting at the airports.
The Air Peace spokesman further noted that the unions had announced at the airport that they were temporarily suspending the industrial action.
“We are trying to see how many flights we can operate with the number of passengers who have been waiting at the airport. Yes, they stated that it has been suspended,” he said.
