Arik Air schedule flights for the day were disrupted by the unions under the aegis of the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) and National Union of Pensioners (NUP).
Most passengers began to protest being stranded for the alleged indebtedness of the airline which failed to brief them ahead of the situation. Security personnel from the Nigerian Police Force, Murtala Muhammed Airport Command had to step in to prevent the protest from escalating.
The Vice Chairman, National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), Comrade Idowu Adesola said Arik Airline would only be allowed to operate if the airline pays the sum of N7 billion with a promise that it would upset the remaining balance in a fixed date.
