Spread the love
The Aviation Union in the industry have grounded the operations of
Nigeria’s carrier, Arik Air over what they described as a large debt of
N12.5billion to Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN.
Arik Air has confirmed the situation, in a press statement issued by its management;
the airline said the action by the workers’ union is connected with the
long-standing and unsubstantiated claim by the Federal Airports Authority of
Nigeria (FAAN) of high indebtedness to the agency which is now before a Federal
High Court in Lagos at the instance of FAAN.

Arik said this is not the first time that FAAN workers’ union will be
taking laws into their hands by disrupting its operations and that the airline
is compelled to suspend all domestic operations for today, and this will remain
in force until the unfortunate situation is resolved.
