The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has appealed to the unions to sheathe their swords and exercise restraint pending the return of the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, who has been actively working towards resolving the issues.
The NCAA in a statement signed by Capt. Chris Ona Najomo, the
Director General said the authority
is aware of the ongoing industrial action by aviation unions and its impact on passengers and other stakeholders.
Najomo noted that the matter would have been addressed at the meeting convened by the Honourable Minister last week, but the meeting could not hold as the airline operators failed to honor the invitation.
The NCAA assured the travelling public that flight safety remains uncompromised and that the Authority continues to exercise its statutory safety oversight responsibilities.
While appealing to all parties to embrace dialogue and cooperation, the DG expressed confidence that the matter will be resolved shortly and normal flight operations will resume as soon as practicable.
The NCAA while regreting the inconvenience caused to passengers, appreciates their patience and understanding.
