Air Peace Limited, the largest airline in West Africa and Nigeria, has seen its workers distance themselves from ongoing industrial action by aviation unions. The picketing, which has affected flight operations in Abuja and Lagos, is not supported by the airline’s staff, according to recent statements. The workers claim the action does not reflect their stance or interests.
The unions involved in the picketing are reportedly demanding better working conditions and higher wages. However, Air Peace workers have not joined the protests, stating they are not part of the industrial action. This divergence highlights a growing tension between different groups within the aviation sector.
The situation underscores the complexity of labor relations in Nigeria’s aviation industry. While some workers are taking to the streets, others remain committed to their roles, emphasizing the need for dialogue rather than disruption. The airline has not yet issued a formal statement on the matter, but the workers’ stance suggests a split in the industry’s response to the ongoing disputes.
Sources indicate that the picketing has caused delays and operational challenges, but the airline’s workers continue to operate without participating in the protests.
