Airlines Strike: NANTA Urges Federal Government to Intervene

The National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (NANTA) has urged the Federal Government to quickly wade into the proposed strike by the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), due to the increase in the price of aviation fuel.
Mrs. Susan Akporiaye, President of NANTA, made the call in a statement in Lagos.

The Airline Operators of Nigeria had notified the public of its intention to shut down domestic flights from Monday, May 9, over the increase in the price of aviation fuel.

Akporiaye called on the Minister of Aviation, Alhaji Hadi Sirika, to help resolve issues concerning domestic airline operators in the country.

Akporiaye noted that her phones have been busy as travel agents and travellers from all over the world wanted to know the latest developments concerning the issue in the industry.

“We cannot continue like this, it is damaging to our image as a nation and our business,” she concluded.
