Enugu Airport Protests Disrupt Flights Over Alleged Concession Plans

Enugu Airport witnessed protests by aviation workers over alleged concession plans, resulting in flight disruptions on Friday. The Aviation Workers Union embarked on industrial action, expressing discontent with the federal government's handling of the concession process at Akanu Ibiam International Airport.

The workers criticized the lack of clarity and consultation regarding the impact on current staff. The protests led to the suspension of operations, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded and flights to Lagos and Abuja canceled.

Efforts by the union to engage government representatives and the alleged concessionaire yielded no results. The disruptions were confirmed by affected airlines, attributing delays to the ongoing protests by airport staff.
