The National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) President, Abednego Galadinma, has revealed that meetings were held with the Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Capt. Musa Nuhu and Azman management over the sacking of pilots by Azman Airline.
Six pilots, one cabin crew member and three ground staff had their appointments terminated by the airline on November 7 after they complained in a WhatsApp group over the delay in their October salaries.
NAAPE President said, “We had a meeting with the management of Azman last week after our letter. We are seeking the recall of the pilots.

“We made our demands to escalate with the management which is meeting with MD, and chairman. Hopefully, after the meeting, we will know where we stand.”
The union had given the airline one week to recall the disengaged workers whilst involving the sector regulator, NCAA and the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, to intervene in the matter.
