“Arik
Air, West and Central Africa’s largest airline, is pleased to announce
that scheduled flights will resume from 11 am tomorrow, Wednesday
September 14, 2016,” the airline said in a statement signed by Ola
Adebanji, its public relations officer.
“Members of the public and
our esteemed customers are advised to discountenance the disparaging
allegations, unsubstantiated and uninformed claims about the airline’s
inability to meet its financial obligations to aviation fuel marketers
and a purported withdrawal of insurance services to Arik Air by its
insurers.
“While the current scarcity of aviation fuel (JET A1)
has impacted on the operations of airlines in the country, Arik Air is
in good standing with its fuel suppliers and has been meeting its
obligations to them and to our insurers.
“With the regularization
of the required documents relating to the renewal of the insurance, Arik
Air will be resuming its normal flying schedule from 1100 hours on
Wednesday, September 14, 2016.
“Arik Air regrets the unfortunate
inconvenience caused to its customers and reassures our customers of
expedient rebooking of any affected flights. ”
Arik becomes the
first airline to have returned from a suspension of activities, as Aero
Contractors and FirstNation are yet to make their comeback.
