AVIATION WORKERS THREATEN ACTION OVER 5% TSA DEDUCTION DISPUTE

Aviation workers are preparing for a possible showdown with authorities over the controversial 5 percent Ticket Sales Charge (TSA) deduction dispute, as tensions continue to rise within the sector.

The workers are demanding clarity and a review of the policy, arguing that the deduction has implications for aviation operations, workers’ welfare, and the overall management of funds within the industry.

Labour unions and aviation stakeholders have raised concerns over the implementation of the charge, calling for greater transparency and proper engagement with affected parties before any further action is taken.

Industry observers warned that a prolonged dispute could disrupt airport operations and affect passengers, especially if workers resort to industrial action.

Aviation authorities have maintained that relevant policies are aimed at improving funding and strengthening the sector, while discussions continue with stakeholders to address concerns.

Experts urged both parties to prioritise dialogue and find a resolution that protects workers’ interests while ensuring the stability and growth of Nigeria’s aviation industry.
