NAMA disassociates itself from ULC strike says airspace remains open

MANAGEMENT of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has disassociated itself from the proposed  strike threat issued by the United Labour Congress (ULC) stating that the Nigeria airspace will remain open.

Following an emergency meeting between NAMA management and representatives of Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals (ANAP), Aeronautical Information Services Association of Nigeria (AISAN) and the National Association of Air Traffic Engineers (NAAE), where the issue of the proposed strike action by the United Labour Congress of Nigeria (ULC) scheduled to take effect from Monday, September 18, 2017 was discussed, the above unions dissociated themselves from the said strike.

The airspace managers informed the general public that while NAAE denied membership of the United Labour Congress, AISAN and ANAP whose members are in NAMA have assured the agency of their decision not to join the strike.

The agency therefore wishes to reassure the general public of full compliments of air navigation service provision throughout the period of the intended strike if it takes place.
