Industrial Action In Aviation Sector: FAAN Moves To Minimize Impact
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says it “is working closely with the relevant aviation agencies, airlines, security agencies and other stakeholders to minimize the impact of the industrial action and ensure that airport operations are not disrupted.
A statement from FAAN says FAAN is closely monitoring developments arising from the ongoing industrial action by aviation unions and wishes to assure the travelling public of its commitment to maintaining safe, secure and orderly airport operations, adding that FAAN recognizes the legitimate role of organized labour and supports the ongoing efforts of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), and other stakeholders towards an amicable resolution of the issues at hand.
“ The Authority also confirms that earlier operational challenges affecting the movement of some flights within the airside environment have been addressed through ongoing inter-agency coordination, and measures are being sustained to support the orderly continuation of flight operations.
FAAN remains committed to ensuring that Nigeria’s airports remain safe, secure, functional and accessible to passengers and other airport users. Passengers are advised to remain calm and maintain contact with their respective airlines for real-time information regarding their flights.
FAAN appreciates the understanding and patience of the travelling public and remains confident that the ongoing engagements under the leadership of the Minister will lead to a speedy and mutually acceptable resolution,” states FAAN.
