The ongoing conflict between the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) and aviation unions over the five percent Ticket Sales Charge (TSC) has escalated, with unions threatening to halt airline operations imminently. This warning follows a previous notice from domestic airlines cautioning against any disruption, asserting that responsible parties would face consequences. The TSC is a mandatory fee collected by airlines for the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). Unions argue that the airlines' failure to remit these funds jeopardizes the safety and efficiency of aviation operations. Following the expiration of a seven-day ultimatum, union leaders have informed airlines and security agencies of their intent to take action. Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo has stated that the Federal Government is actively engaging with the parties involved to resolve the situation.
