Members of the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association Of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) on Tuesday morning blocked the entrance gates of the Murtala Mohammed Airport 2 (MMA2) Terminal in Lagos to protest the “unprovoked termination” of the appointment of 34 aviation workers by the operators of the airport terminal, the B-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL).
The situation forced airlines like Ibom Air and Air Peace operating within the airport terminal to stop flight operations.
Ibom Air, in a notice to passengers, said the action of the union will greatly impact its flights scheduled in and out of Lagos today.
“This is to bring to the attention of our esteemed passengers and the public, that our operating terminal out of Lagos,the Murtala Mohamed Airport 2, operated by Bicourtney Aviation Services Limited has been completely closed off to workers and passengers alike by the labour Union, very early this morning.

“We greatly regret the impact of this unexpected action on your day’s plans as we urge you to kindly stay close to all our communication channels for subsequent updates,” the airline said
In a notice of strike by ATSSSAN, those affected in the disengagement include ATSSSAN Branch Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Women Leader who were said to demand “the payment of terminal benefits to staff members who exited the service of the company lawfully in line with the signed Conditions of Service”.
