Air Peace and United Nigeria Airlines report financial and operational losses after aviation unions stage industrial action that disrupts flights and leaves passengers stranded. The outlets say the disruption follows protests by aviation unions on Tuesday, before the strike is suspended.
Premium Times reports Air Peace estimates losses of more than ₦2 billion and says United Nigeria is disrupted on more than 30 flights. The Punch similarly reports that both airlines claim losses exceeding ₦2 billion, describing the impact as stranding thousands of passengers. While the figures are presented differently—one outlet focusing on the number of flights affected by United Nigeria and the other emphasizing the overall passenger disruption—both accounts attribute the losses to the same disruption from the union action. Both outlets also indicate that the industrial action is paused, affecting the airlines’ operations during the period of protest.
