The temporary suspension has eased the immediate disruption to air travel, although the dispute between the unions and airline operators remains unresolved.
Air Peace, United Nigeria Airlines resume operations as passengers face backlog
Speaking with journalists on Tuesday, Osifo-Whiskey Efe, spokesperson for Air Peace, said the airline had resumed operations but was still working to accommodate passengers affected by the industrial action.
Mr Efe said 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.
