Aviation workers under the aegis of Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) on Tuesday morning November 1, 2022 shut down Muritala Muhammed Airport in Lagos State.
Blueprint gathered that already travellers who turned out to travel out are stranded as flights in and out of the airport are suspended.
The aviation workers said they shut the airport over the sack of some of their members by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL).
BASL had sacked 37 workers including the union executives.
The union described the sack of its members as witch-hunting and willful intimidation.
They alleged that rather than implementing the conditions of service as agreed with them in 2021, the BASL management had resorted to sacking of its members.
