Regarding recent protest actions carried out against Turkish Airlines operations in Lagos and Abuja Airports:

While we respect the right of workers and unions to express their views, such actions are regrettable given the ongoing dialogue already taking place with representatives of the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE).

Turkish Airlines operates in full compliance with Nigerian labour laws and the applicable regulatory framework. We expect all stakeholders to pursue their concerns through established legal and dialogue channels rather than such these disruptive actions.

The safety and security of our passengers, employees and operations remain our top priority. As demonstrated in the past, should operational conditions fail to meet the required safety standards, Turkish Airlines will take the necessary operational measures. We remain committed to continuing discussions with relevant parties to reach a responsible and constructive resolution, while reiterating our expectation that all necessary measures will be taken to ensure a secure and stable operating environment, otherwise, we would like to inform you that we will consider the cancellation option in our flight schedule.
