Allen Onyema, chief executive officer of Air Peace, has condemned the disruption of the airline’s flight operations by officials of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress .a strike in Imo after its planned Workers’ Day celebration in the state was hampered.
Speaking on the matter, the airline’s management said the group “took over our counters in Owerri, Abuja, and Lagos, disrupting over 110 flights of Air Peace”.Onyema, highlighting the consequences of the event on Arise TV on Wednesday, said the airline lost about N700 million due to the trade unions’ actions.
“For somebody who has contributed so much to the nation; on a day like this, it is so insensitive of the NLC and TUC to disrupt our operations for something that does not even concern Air Peace.“They said that governor Uzodinma of Imo state disrupted their May Day activities, therefore, no flight should go to Imo.”
“We have a contract with the passengers. NLC or TUC has no right to whatsoever instruct an airline not to update the contractual obligations they have to their passengers — they do not have that right,” he said.
