In order to cope with traffic surge that usually accompany
festive season in Nigeria and around the world, Arik Air has announced increase in flight operations to
key domestic destinations ahead of the Christmas and New Year festivities. According
to Adebanji Ola, Public Relations and Communications Manager to the airline, “The
airline’s decision to increase flight frequencies on the domestic routes is
predicated on the need to ensure that many Nigerians are able to travel home to
share the joy of the season with family and friends.”
The airline is also introducing a wide-body Airbus
340-300 on the London route. “To also cope with the demands of its international
passengers on the London Heathrow and New York JFK routes, the airline has
leased a wide-body A340-300 from Portugal to supplement its wide-body fleet of
two A330-200 aircraft.”-said Ola
Arik Air connects 18 destinations within Nigeria, 10 in
West/Central Africa and three international destinations enabling the airline
to bring more Nigerian families together this festive season than any other
carrier.
“Instead of the average 100 daily flights normally
operated, Arik Air will during the festive period increase its daily flights to
an average of 120.”
Arik Air’s Managing Director/Executive Vice President,
Mr. Chris Ndulue added: “For many of our guests, the Christmas and New Year
period is a time when families wish to be reunited at the end of a busy year.
Arik Air is therefore very pleased to announce that on many of our domestic
routes, the airline will be scheduling additional flights and operating larger
aircraft to cater for the increasing demand.”
