Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>There has been a sense of fear from local staff of the Lungi International Airport as the Turkish Summa Airport Company takes over the Lungi International Airport.<\/p>\n

This latest development surfaced on Friday evening in a termination of employment letter addressed to a certain Mr Sankoh which was shared widely on social media.<\/p>\n

The letter states that the termination of the contract is a result \u201cBuild-Operate-Transfer Agreement between the Turkish Company and the Government of Sierra Leone.\u201dThe management informed the staff that his immediate termination is as a result of the \u201ctransfer protocols for the smooth transition\u201d between the SLAA and the Summa Group.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the letter, many Sierra Leoneans took to social media to express their fear and anger as the Group begins the sackings of local staff at the airport.<\/p>\n

A lot of local staff express fear as there are rumours that the company will import their staff from Turkey.<\/p>\n

It could be recalled that the Government early this week handed over the operations of the airport to the Turkish company as part of their agreement for the building of a new terminal at Lungi International Airport.This agreement transforms the SLAA into an Air Navigational Service Provider (ANSP) while the Group takes over the operations of the Airport.<\/p>\n
