The single sharpest fact in one or two punchy sentences is that Enugu Air has rescheduled some of its flights following the ongoing industrial action at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. And the strike, which started with workers denying staff access to the terminal, has temporarily suspended operations at the airport. The impact of the strike is being felt on Enugu Air flights operating through Abuja.

According to a statement by Enugu Air, the airline has informed passengers that due to the industrial action, some of its flights may experience rescheduling until further notice. The statement read: “Please be informed that due to an ongoing industrial action at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, where union workers are denying staff access into the airport terminal, operations at the airport have been temporarily suspended.”

Consequently, the airline has advised passengers to check their email, SMS, and the airline's official social media platforms for updates on their flight status before proceeding to the airport. It also apologised to affected passengers, assuring them that their safety and wellbeing remained its priority.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has acknowledged the impact of the industrial action on passengers and other stakeholders. In a statement signed by the Director-General, Chris Najomo, the NCAA appealed to the unions to “sheathe their swords and exercise restraint” pending the return of Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, who the authority said had been working to resolve the dispute.

The dispute started with a peace meeting called by Minister Keyamo last week which could not hold as airline operators failed to attend. The NCAA said the matter could have been addressed at the meeting but airline operators failed to honour the invitation.

As a result of the strike, Air Peace, Nigeria’s largest airline, has also been affected. The NCAA appealed to all parties to return to the negotiating table and assured passengers that flight safety remains uncompromised.

The aviation regulator assured the travelling public that flight safety remains uncompromised and that the Authority continues to exercise its statutory safety oversight responsibilities. It, however, apologised for the inconvenience caused by the disruption and urged passengers to remain patient as efforts continue to resolve the dispute.

The airline advised passengers scheduled to travel later on Tuesday to be contacted and provided with updates as the situation develops. It urged passengers to monitor its official communication channels for updates and contact its customer service team for rebooking and other enquiries.

The dispute has raised concerns about the safety of flight operations in Nigeria. The NCAA has been working to resolve the dispute, but so far, there is no indication of a resolution.
