FAAN Is On Strike? by damseremie(m): 7:45am On Apr 16, 2015 |
I am currently at the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport in Abuja. Two flights just offloaded passengers who had boarded. They say FAAN workers just started a strike. Can anyone confirm this at different locations? Update:: They just announced arrival of a Medview Flight... but they say that one took off before they started so it will land and stop This is bad o. I have a 12pm appointment in Lag. My flight is for 8:40 so we are all waiting for updates.. |

Update: they say it's air traffic controllers only |
Re: FAAN Is On Strike? by damseremie(m): 7:52am On Apr 16, 2015 |
Update: They just called the 2 flights to board again. Hopefully the people were just flexing muscle. They may have called it off. People are on the tarmac heading to the planes |

First 2 flights just took off... like an hour late Thank God though. But the delay will spill over all through today |

Na waa. We have been in the plane for almost an hour. The pilot said he just heard of the strike and the control tower put us on 'delay'. He can't give us a definite take off time. That he just heard else he would have preferred we wait in the lobby I don't even know if this means the strike is back on.. nobody is talking to us |

Please give more info. I'm in Lagos but I really want to know what's going on. Is there any official announcement yet? |

damseremie: Any update yet? |
Re: FAAN Is On Strike? by damseremie(m): 10:17am On Apr 16, 2015 |
We are still grounded. Since the first 2 aero flights moved. No other flights have. I am in First nation and a medview flight loaded too and has been beside us since. It's been an hour and 30 minutes. The worst bit is I am supposed to return today by 6. Only God knows if that flight will still happen at this rate |
Re: FAAN Is On Strike? by damseremie(m): 10:21am On Apr 16, 2015 |
Update: The pilot just spoke that at least control tower just gave him info that we are number 6 in the order. This was like 15 minutes ago. But they didn't tell him the space between numbers. He even said this is better, cause the first time he radioed, they said we can't takeoff till 7pm . This is for an 8:40am flight. We are still waiting |

damseremie: Woah! It's the traffic controllers that are on a 6 hour warning strike. I just finished speaking with a NAMA official who said the issue will be resolved soon. I hope you guys will be able to fly soon so u can meet up with ur appointment. |
