Nigeria’s pilots and engineers’ union, NAAPE, warns that the ongoing Jet-A1 (aviation fuel) price and supply disruption crisis is raising safety risks and could lead to job losses in the air transport sector. In separate statements reported by Vanguard and Premium Times, NAAPE says persistent fuel supply problems increase operational pressure on airlines, including tighter schedules and greater demands on crews. The union links these conditions to potential crew fatigue and reduced operational margins, arguing that the situation could compromise flight safety if not addressed urgently. NAAPE also calls attention to the broader employment impact, warning that airlines and related operators may cut costs, resulting in workforce reductions if the fuel crisis continues. Premium Times reports that NAAPE urges federal authorities and regulators—including the Federal Government, the NCAA (Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority), and NMDPRA (Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority)—to intervene to stabilize Jet-A1 supply and pricing. The union’s statements focus on the need for immediate action to prevent safety concerns from worsening as disruptions persist.
