Comment on this story

Aero Contractors had grounded all flights until further notice due to staff strikes over cost-cutting measures, the Nigerian airline said yesterday. Aero management was in talks with unions “to find a quick and amicable resolution”, company spokesman Simon Tumba said. The airline, which has been operating in the country for more than five decades, employs 1 300 people and operates 15 fixed-wing aircraft and 20 helicopters. The strike follows similar recent disputes in the industry. Air Nigeria suspended operations last September due to staff “disloyalty”. – Bloomberg
