Report says there were court orders restraining them from carrying out this but they paid no attention to it. On Tuesday, a Federal High Court had granted an order in the suit filed by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL), operators of MMA2, restraining the unions from shutting down activities at the airport.

As at 6am when we were fighting the heavy downpour, the members of the union made their way to the airport and barricaded the MMA2.
