Passengers remained stranded at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Tuesday afternoon as aviation unions continued their industrial action, disrupting flight operations and forcing some airlines to suspend or reschedule services.
The disruption also affected operations at the Lagos airport, where Air Peace earlier reported that union members barricaded access to its departure terminals.
Air Peace, Enugu Air and United Nigeria Airlines announced disruptions to their operations, with the airlines either suspending or rescheduling flights because of restricted access to airport terminals.
The industrial action is linked to grievances by aviation unions over workers’ freedom to unionise and the alleged non-remittance of the five per cent Ticket Sales Charge (TSC) collected from passengers.
