Air Peace To Recall Some Pilots As FG Intervenes
Many of the pilots who were recently sacked by Air Peace will be recalled to their jobs following the intervention of the Federal Government.
It was gathered on Tuesday that this was the outcome of an intervention meeting called by the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, between the airline’s management and the leadership of the National Association of Airline Pilots and Engineers.
The spokesperson of the Federal Ministry of Aviation, James Odaudu, confirmed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said a verbal agreement was reached as the Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, acceded to the minister’s appeal for the recall of the maximum number of pilots that the airline could accommodate without going under.
The statement, titled ‘Air Peace to recall some sacked pilots as Sirika intervenes’ said the pilot’s association, led by its Chairman, Galadima Abednego, agreed that some missteps could have been made in the course of the standoff between the airline and the union.
It said the association appealed to the minister to intervene in order to resolve the impasse.
