UPDATED: NCAA begs aviation unions to suspend strike

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has urged aviation unions to halt their ongoing industrial action, citing a peace meeting called by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, could not proceed due to airline operators' failure to attend. The plea came as the labor action continued to disrupt flight operations, leaving passengers and other travelers affected.

The NCAA, in a statement, acknowledged the impact of the industrial action on passengers and other stakeholders, urging unions to "sheathe their swords and exercise restraint" until Keyamo returns. The dispute had escalated to the point where the largest airline in Nigeria, Air Peace, had suspended its operations, exacerbating the situation for passengers already caught in the labor vs. airline operators conflict.

The NCAA appealed to all parties to resume dialogue and cooperation, expressing confidence that the matter would be resolved soon, allowing normal flight operations to resume as soon as possible.
