Passengers Disembark As Aviation Workers Shut Down Kano Airport

Already boarded passengers in AZMAN and Max Air flights departing from Kano were made to disembark on Monday morning as aviation workers grounded flight operations at the Mallam Aminu Kano Airport.

The action of the aviation workers was upon a dispute between the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.

Following the crisis, flights scheduled to leave Kano, Monday morning, were disrupted as the Air Traffic Controllers suspended their operations which affected the landing and take-off of flights.

Flights for AZMAN and Max Air scheduled for Abuja and Lagos were not allowed to leave.

It was gathered that passengers that boarded the aircrafts were later asked to disembark as the Air Traffic Controllers shut down their operations.

It was also learnt that the Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers Association shut down air navigation services for flights in and out of the airport over power supply to NAMA facilities and staff accommodations that were disconnected.

As a result of the problem, many passengers including some Federal lawmakers were stranded at the airport while effort was being  made to sort out the differences so as to restore flight operations.

On Friday, FAAN had disconnected power supply to all NAMA staff accommodations due to non-payment of electricity bills.
