Due to increase in patronage, Arik Air has increased some
of its routes’ frequencies. According to
an online statement from the airline, “Arik Air, West and Central Africa’s
largest carrier has released its 2014 winter schedule with increased capacity
in key domestic routes to cope with passengers’ demands and give travelers more
options for same day return trips.
The new schedule which came into effect on November 17,
2014 saw an increase in the frequency of flights on the Lagos-Calabar,
Lagos-Enugu, Lagos-Benin, Abuja-Benin, Lagos-Kano, Abuja-Kano, Abuja-Asaba and
Abuja-Ibadan routes.”
The frequency on the Lagos-Calabar and Lagos-Enugu routes
have been increased from daily (seven weekly) to double daily (14 weekly) while
Lagos-Benin has been increased from 14 weekly (double daily) to 20 frequencies
(three times daily and twice on Saturdays).
Similarly, the Abuja-Benin flight frequency has been
increased from daily (seven weekly) to 13 weekly (i.e. two daily and one on
Saturdays). Abuja-Ibadan, Abuja-Kano, Abuja-Asaba and Lagos-Kano services now
operate daily.
On the regional routes, only Luanda route is affected. “With
the new winter schedule, the days of operation for the Lagos-Luanda service
have now been changed to Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. This flight was
hitherto operated on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays”-said the airline.
Commenting on the new schedule, Arik Air’s Managing
Director/Executive Vice President, Mr. Chris Ndulue said:
“There is an increasing demand from our guests on our
domestic routes. Arik Air is committed to providing all of its guests with a
range of flights at suitable times. We have identified and delivered on the
