Agency says a 48-hour strike by some staff despite court rulings could affect flights across West Africa and Madagascar

Dakar — A 48-hour strike planned by some staff of French-speaking West Africa and Madagascar aviation safety agency Asecna starting on Friday, could affect some flight operations in the region, the agency said in a statement on Thursday.

“Asecna is under the threat of a strike decided by the Union of Trade Unions of Air Controllers, a clandestine organisation which is not recognised by any of the member states of the agency,” it said in the statement. “The Niamey flight information region is expected to be impacted,” Asecna said, urging passengers to check updated flight information and so-called Notice-to-Airmen it will publish on its website. It added that a Niger court decision on the legality of the strike was expected.

On Thursday, a court in Senegal suspended the call to strike by air traffic controllers in Senegal and Ivory Coast, the agency said.
