He’s one of the eight employees that went through a disciplinary hearing and did not plead guilty.

Out of the eight, four have been reinstated, three terminated while one is yet to know his outcome.

Some Air Traffic controllers took various forms of leave in March and demanded a salary increase from the Fiji Airports Management.

However, the Arbitration Court had earlier ruled that the group had gone on an illegal strike.
