Sirika intervenes in Bristow, pilots’ face-off
Minister of Aviation Hadi Sirika has intervened in the protracted industrial action by National Association of Air Pilots and Engineers , which paralysed activities at Bristow Helicopters.
The pilots under their umbrella body on Wednesday threatened to ground the aviation industry in two weeks should the management of the company refuse to recall the sacked pilots and engineers. Galadinma faulted Bristow Helicopters for sacking 100 pilots and engineers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, saying the company was not saying the truth, since it operated throughout the lockdown period, servicing the oil and gas sector as an essential service provider.
But the management of Bristow Helicopters Limited said the decision to lay off about 100 pilots and engineers was because of its plans to restructure the sector amid the COVID-19 pandemic.This came barely 24 hours after another airline, Air Peace, sacked over 70 pilots under its employment due to the coronavirus pandemic crisis.
