The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has appealed to aviation unions to hold back action pending the return of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo
The appeal is contained in a statement signed by the Director General of NCAA, Capt. Chris Najomo and made available to journalists in Lagos.
The NCAA in the statement said that it is aware of the ongoing industrial action by aviation unions and its impact on passengers and other stakeholders.
The NCAA appealed to the unions to sheathe their swords and exercise restraint pending the return of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, who has been actively working towards resolving the issues.
The matter, Najomo said would have been addressed at the meeting convened by the Minister last week, but the meeting could not hold as the airline operators failed to honor the invitation.
The NCAA assured the travelling public that flight safety remains uncompromised and that the authority continues to exercise its statutory safety oversight responsibilities.
“We appeal to all parties to embrace dialogue and cooperation. We are confident that the matter will be resolved shortly and normal flight operations will resume as soon as practicable,” Najomo said
The NCAA, he said regrets the inconvenience caused to passengers and appreciates their patience and understanding.
