The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), has appealed to aviation unions to sheathe their swords and exercise restraint following the ongoing industrial action.
This is just as the Authority urged the unions to await the return of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, who has been actively working towards resolving the issues, which it said would have an impact on passengers and other stakeholders.
Making this known in a statement on Tuesday, the NCAA Director General, Capt. Chris Ona Najomo, said the matter 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.
“The NCAA regrets the inconvenience caused to passengers and appreciates their patience and understanding”, the Authority noted.a
