Arik Air resumes flight to Asaba October 17

The month of October is a special one for Arik Air. The airline is maximising all its business potential by reintroducing flights to lucrative air routes in the country.

On October 4, it reintroduced flights from Abuja to Benin, and, today, Thursday October 10, it has started flights from Abuja to Port Harcourt. Capping it all, on Thursday, October 17, 2024, Arik will resume flights from Lagos to Asaba, the capital of Delta State.

The PR & Communications Manager, Ark Air, Adebanji Ola made this known in a statement he made available to PortNews in Lagos on Thursday, October 10.

According to the statement, the Lagos-Asaba flights will operate from Murtala Muhammed Airport Domestic Terminal 1 Ikeja, Lagos and operate four times weekly on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Flights from Abuja to Port Harcourt will operate daily while Abuja to Benin will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

The airline has also increased frequencies on the Lagos-Benin and Lagos-Warri routes to daily flights thus deepening its presence in the market.

The reintroduction of the aforementioned flights is part of the airline’s strategy to reconnect the key routes that were hitherto suspended due to operational reasons.

Commenting on the development, Arik Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Captain Roy Ilegbodu, said, “We are happy to extend our services once again to the good people of Asaba and environs who have been yearning for our services.

“We promise customers on all routes our commitment to uphold the high operational standards that Arik Air is known for.”

Arik Air is Nigeria’s leading airline operating flights to major destinations in the country. The airline will be 18 years on October 30, 2024.
