Aviation workers under the aegis of Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers' Association, NATCA, yesterday, threatened to withdraw their services by the end of the month should domestic airlines fail to pay up outstanding ticket and cargo sales charges, TSC, to aviation agencies.
.
The workers lamented that the huge debt by domestic airlines was crippling aviation agencies in the country, warning that if nothing was done safety could be compromised.
.
In the statement, President and General Secretary, Victor Eyaru and Banji Olawole respectively, said:
.
"We are concern over the looming danger to air safety in the country as a result of non remittance of TSC running into billions of naira collected on behalf of aviation agencies, NAMA, NCAA, NIMET and NCAT by domestic airlines.
.
"These organizations require huge funds to procure, maintain and train their manpower for effective discharge their duties.
