Turkish Airlines has described as illegal the recent picketing of the organization by the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE)

Turkish Airline s has described as illegal the recent picketing of the organization by the National Union of Air Transport Employees , which disrupted its operations and forced flight cancellations on May 21, 2024. The airline made its position known in a statement issued by its media relations office on Thursday.

Turkish Airlines further explained that the problem began when it dismissed seven of its employees, who were NUATE members.“In late 2023, the airline discovered an unfortunate pattern of ticket racketeering, particularly various ticketing reservation violations committed by seven employees.“Upon discovering the violations, the airline immediately engaged the union in discussions on how to address the said violations.

“Premised on the threat of industrial action issued by NUATE by notices dated February 28, 2024, and March 25, 2024, the Airline instituted proceedings in Suit No.: NICN/LA/24/2024 – Turkish Airlines Incorporated v The Registered Trustees of the National Union of Air Transport Employees , seeking to determine the legality of the Union’s actions, among other things,” it said.

“Premised on the actions of the Union on March 26, 2024, the Airline would like to state that since 2006 when it launched its operations in Lagos, Nigeria, it has continued to put the interest of its passengers and employees first. The retail price of refilling a 5kg cylinder of liquefied petroleum gas also known as cooking gas rose from N4,642.27 in April 2023 to N6,521.58 in April 2024, an increase of 40.48 per cent in one year.
