'...in fact now, from today we will not allow that,” the minister said.

, on Wednesday, said the government will no longer tolerate strikes and riots around all airports in the country because it is against the law of the land.

“First, we apologise to our teeming passengers in this difficult moment.Secondly, this will not happen in the future by the grace of God. And the reason is simple, aviation is an essential service, the Act has been passed by Mr President, so strikes and riots around our airports are prohibited by the laws of the land,” the minister said.

The development grounded several arrival and departure flight schedules with passengers lamenting that there was no prior communication intimating them of the disruption. However, about 14 hours after many passengers had had their itinerary disrupted, the workers called off the strike, NAHCO said in a statement.
