Morning flights were suspended at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos Terminal Two (MMA2), on Tuesday morning November 1, 2022, following an industrial action by aviation workers, leaving passengers stranded.
The aviation workers under the aegis of Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) are protesting the sack of some of their members by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL).
Already travellers who turned out to travel are stranded as flights in and out of the airport are suspended. BASL had sacked 37 workers including the union executives.
The union described the sack of its members as witch-hunting and willful intimidation. They alleged that rather than implementing the conditions of service as agreed with them in 2021, the BASL management had resorted to the sacking of its members.
