As the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria FAAN opens Benin Airport for flight operations, Arik Air
will be resuming schedule operations in two days’ time (September 6). According
to a statement from the airline, “Arik Air, Nigeria and West Africa’s largest
carrier has announced the resumption of flight services to Benin Airport
effective Sunday, September 6, 2015 following the re-opening of the airport by
the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).”
Benin Airport was temporarily closed by FAAN on June 20,
2015 to facilitate rehabilitation works on the airport’s runway. The closure
was initially scheduled to last 20 days but was further extended by FAAN.
Explaining how the operations will take-off, Arik Air
said it will operate one flight each from both Lagos and Abuja into Benin on
Sunday and thereafter revert to its normal schedule as from Monday, September
7, 2015.
