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

It said the National Industrial Court (NICN) issued formal notices of injunction on April 30, restraining NUATE and its affiliate unions from embarking on any industrial action to disrupt its business.

The airline said NUATE’s action, carried out under the auspices of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), was contrary to its transparency and management principles and had caused serious financial losses. “Our attention has been drawn to various malicious and unfounded publications orchestrated by the National Union of Air Transport Employees (the ‘Union’ or ‘NUATE’) regarding Turkish Airlines and its former employees.

“We would like to respectfully announce to the public that the Airline has no tolerance for this and all similar illegal and wrongful actions and will act accordingly and exercise all its legal rights regarding the process,” it said. Turkish Airlines further explained that the problem began when it dismissed seven of its employees, who were NUATE members.
