A statement released on Friday, March 24, by the Media Consultant to the airline, Simon Tumba said the NCAA brokered the peace meeting held on Thursday evening.
Tumba listed unions at the meeting to include the National Union of Air Transport Employees, Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria and National Association of Aircraft Pilot and Engineers.
The unions on Thursday, March 23, shut down the airline over refusal to reinstate sacked workers.
