5% TSC: Keyamo Orders Airlines, Unions to Agree Repayment Plans
- On Thursday, Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo directed the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority to work with airlines on repayment plans for Ticket Sales Charge debt following Tuesday's industrial action that disrupted flights in Lagos and Abuja.
- Aviation unions accused airlines of failing to remit five per cent Ticket Sales Charge, with Air Peace allegedly owing 25 billion, while Air Peace reported losses exceeding 2 billion from the disruptions.
- Beyond debt, unions alleged airlines restricted workers from joining trade groups; Air Peace denied the charge, but the ministry resolved that aviation agencies must grant unions direct access to workers to decide individually on unionization.
- The Directors of Finance and Accounts are expected to meet individually with affected airlines within one week to finalize repayment plans spread over a "reasonable timeframe" considering operating costs and economic realities.
- Stakeholders agreed to reconvene in one month to review progress on these resolutions and assess the dispute, providing a window to resolve outstanding issues without further disruptions to flight operations.
