A scene from the runway blockage
A staff member of Air Peace may have his day in court having blocked the Lagos airport runway over the picketing of the airline on Tuesday.
The National Union of Air Transport Employees, Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, and National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers, backed by the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress, began picketing the airline in the early hours of Tuesday.
Recall that unions had earlier issued three stages of warning, threatening to picket airlines that have refused to pay the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority the five per cent Ticket Sales Charge.
The unions also alleged that some domestic airlines have made it difficult for employees to freely join trade unions.
