Airlines Operations Disrupted as Union Pickets MMA2 Terminal over Sack of Members, Passengers Stranded Chinedu Eze Travellers arriving to board early morning flights to different destinations from the major domestic terminal, the Murtala Muhammed Airpo
Travellers arriving to board early morning flights to different destinations from the major domestic terminal, the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2 were stranded, as the facility was closed to both workers and passengers by the members of the Air Transport Senior Staff Services Association of Nigeria due to the sack of their colleagues by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited .
“Efforts are currently being made to resolve the situation; however, please note that this action will greatly impact our flights scheduled in and out of Lagos today. We greatly regret the impact of this unexpected action on your day’s plans as we urge you to kindly stay close to all our communication channels for subsequent updates.”
The union barricaded the MMA2 from the very early hours of Tuesday, occupying the terminal and stating that it has no intention to leave until the issues surrounding the sack of the affected union members are addressed. Industry expert and General Secretary of Aviation Round Table , a think-tank group in the industry, Group Captain John Ojikutu said in reaction to the picketing that it was wrong to do so at this time.
