Nigeria’s aviation regulator, the NCAA, urges aviation unions to suspend an ongoing strike that is disrupting flight operations and affecting passengers.
According to reports, the regulator calls for dialogue while the dispute continues, with disruptions reported in major cities including Lagos and Abuja. Multiple outlets link the strike to disagreements within the aviation sector, including issues around unionisation and alleged infractions connected to Air Peace.
The Premium Times report adds that the conflict involves a five per cent Ticket Sales Charge, which, along with the broader labour and compliance concerns, contributes to the operational standstill and passenger inconvenience. The Punch also reports the NCAA’s appeal to unions to pause the strike, framing it as an intervention to restore normal services while the matter is resolved through engagement rather than continued disruption.
