The management of Chanchangi Airline said the 53 workers of Chanchangi Airline who have been on compulsory leave were not sacked. The station manager of the airline, Mr. Babadiya Ahmed said the airline is already looking into the matter.
The workers protested last week at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA’s headquarters, Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos over unpaid salaries alleged to have accrued since 2010 when the airline sent them on compulsory leave. The workers who decried the airline’s delay in paying their salaries registered their grievances at the ticket counters of the company at the airport before proceeding to the NCAA headquarters to drive home their demands.
They alleged that they have not been paid their salaries for 36 months, a situation which they said cannot be tolerated any more.The workers further said they were asked to stay off work since 2010, when the airline started having operational challenges, and have not been paid since.
According to them, all attempts to draw the attention of the management of the airline to their plight fell on deaf ears, even as the official communication to the NCAA on the matter has not yielded positive result.
Receiving the workers at NCAA, the Director of Human Resources, Mr. Austin Amadi Ifeanyi and the Director of Consumer Protection, Alhaji Adamu Abdulahi assured them that the regulatory agency would look into their plight and provide possible solutions by ensuring that the airline does what is right.
The directors further commended the aggrieved workers for towing the path of peace by reporting the matter at the appropriate quarter as it is the duty of NCAA to ensure that all goes well in the aviation sector.
According to them, the regulatory authority will investigate their claims and call Chanchangi Airline to order to ensure that the grievances of the workers are addressed and their demands met.
They, however, gave a week timeline for the aggrieved workers to get back, assuring them that the matter would be critically looked into for the health of the industry.
Meanwhile, the station manager of Chanchangi Airline, Mr Babadiya Ahmed said the airline is already looking into the matter, but however affirmed that the workers were not sacked.
