Passengers have been left stranded at airports in Lagos and Abuja after organized labor unions picketed Air Peace facilities over allegations of violating workers’ unionization rights and failing to remit Ticket Sales Charges (TSC) to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). Travelers hoping to board early morning Air Peace flights in Abuja starting at 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday were barred from entering. At the Lagos airport, union officials locked the access gate to the Zulu Terminal. The CEO of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, recently warned aviation unions against starting an industrial action that would cause the aviation sector to be disrupted for an extended period of time. According to Onyema, domestic airlines deal strictly with NCAA rather than labour unions and operate under rigorous guidelines worldwide.
