AON, unions disagree over Air Peace picketing
Spokesperson for the AON, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, disclosed that Air Peace and United Nigeria Airlines were initially targeted in the picketing carried out by the National Union of Air Transport Employees, NUATE, and the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, ATSSSAN, backed by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
Okonkwo, who is the Executive Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines, said the union’s actions at the airport would have brought the aviation sector to its lowest point if not for the condemnation by stakeholders.
Meanwhile, National President of the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, ATSSSAN, John Ogbe, sharply disagreed, saying the push to unionise workers in the sector was driven by a commitment to partnership and industry stability, not disruption.
