Arik Air resumed flight operations on August 8, 2024, after a brief pause.

Recall, few days back, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) had grounded some aircraft belonging to Arik Airline.

The Agency said the action was sequel to an order by the enforcement department of the FCT High Court, regarding a debt of $2.5m owed by Arik to Atlas Petroleum International Ltd.

But, aviation unions appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the crisis.

The unions in a joint letter dated first August, 2024 signed by their secretaries general and addressed to President Tinubu say, “the grounding of the aircraft has caused anguish and frustration among passengers, with many left stranded and unable to make alternative travel arrangements”.

The unions; the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) National Union of Air Transport Employees NUATE and Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, ATSSSAN noted that, in a letter dated February 20, 2024, they had requested the President’s urgent and compassionate intervention in the matter, which has now led to the grounding of Arik Air’s fleet of four aircraft.

Techeconomy can report that Arik Air is back in the skies.

Confirming the development, Captain Roy Ilegbodu, chief executive officer, Arik Air Limited (in Receivership), said that during the brief pause, the airline was dedicated to ensuring a smooth and seamless return to service, “preparing to welcome you back on board with the comfort and reliability you expect from us”.

Captain Ilegbodu attributed the return of the airline to the skies to the teams spirited efforts:

“Our entire team has been working tirelessly to enhance your travel experience. From our friendly ground staff to our attentive flight crews, everyone at Arik Air is ready and eager to serve you once again. Whether you are traveling for business or leisure, you can rely on Arik Air to get you to your destination smoothly and comfortably.

“We extend our gratitude to all the stakeholders who played a crucial role in resolving the recent impasse. Your support and cooperation have been instrumental in our return to the skies.

“Thank you for choosing Arik. We look forward to seeing you on board!”, Captain Ilegbodu said.
