...Commences Flight operations on Thursday
After suspension of operations of the oldest airline in
Nigeria, Aero Contractors Airlines has announced its resumption with Boeing 737-400/500 and Dash8-Q400. According to
the airline, its scheduled services across the country will resume from
Wednesday December 21, 2016 after a near four month self-imposed suspension,
which was embarked upon as a strategic business realignment to reposition the
airline and return it to the part of profitability.
“Aero is re-launching schedule services to Lagos, Abuja,
Warri and Port Harcourt, using its Boeing 737-400/500 and the Dash8-Q400, with
the expectation that as more aircraft return to service, more routes will be
reopened.”
Confirming the resumption of operations, the Chief
Executive Officer, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu said: “We are delighted to inform our
esteemed customers that our schedule operation is back. Full flights will
commence on Thursday December 22, 2016 with consistent passenger demand despite
the suspension of schedule services. This patronage reinforces the strength of
our brand and the quality of our service”.
"We are aware of the impact the four month
suspension had on our staff and our highly esteemed customers. Hence our move
to return to operations is to continue to
offer the most reliable, safe and secure operations, which the airline
is renowned for."
The airline asked passengers with existing tickets prior
to the suspension to contact our Ticket Desks/Call Centre to rebook their
tickets free of charge. However, those who would prefer a refund may send in
their refund requests from the 9th of January, 2017.
Aero is Nigeria's oldest aviation company with 57 years
flying experience and good safety record.
