This month of October, Arik Air is reconnecting multiple cities in Nigeria.
Arik Air will be resuming flight operations from Lagos to Asaba, the capital of Delta State, on Thursday, October 17, after several months of flight suspension to the city.
Similarly, the airline has reintroduced flight connections from Abuja to Benin on October 4 and from Abuja to Port Harcourt today, Thursday October 10.
The airline in a mail to The Nigerian Economy said its Lagos-Asaba flights would operate from Murtala Muhammed Airport Domestic Terminal 1 (otherwise known as GAT), Ikeja, Lagos and operate four times weekly on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
“Flights from Abuja to Port Harcourt will operate daily while Abuja to Benin will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,” Ola Adebanji, Arik’s communications manager stated.
The airline has also increased frequencies on the Lagos-Benin and Lagos-Warri routes to daily flights thus deepening its presence in the market.
Adebanji noted that the reintroduction of the aforementioned flights was part of the airline’s strategy to reconnect the key routes that were hitherto suspended due to operational reasons.
Commenting on the development, Arik Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Captain Roy Ilegbodu, said: “We are happy to extend our services once again to the good people of Asaba and environs who have been yearning for our services.
“We promise customers on all routes our commitment to uphold the high operational standards that Arik Air is known for.”
