The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has lifted the ban on Arik Air’s aircraft following the resolution of a dispute between the airline and Atlas Petroleum.
The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Mr. Michael Achimugu, announced the lifting of the ban, stating that the impasse had been successfully resolved by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, and the acting Director General of NCAA, Capt. Chris Najomo.
As a result of this resolution, Arik Air was set to resume operations immediately, with passengers already checking in for scheduled flights.
In a statement signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Captain Roy Ilegbodu, Arik Air expressed excitement at the resumption of its flight operations on August 8, 2024. The airline assured passengers of a seamless and comfortable travel experience, highlighting the dedication of its team to providing reliable and quality service.
Arik Air emphasized its commitment to enhancing the travel experience for passengers, from the ground staff to the flight crews, and expressed readiness to serve customers whether they are traveling for business or leisure.
This development comes after NAMA grounded some of Arik Air’s aircraft on July 30 due to a federal high court order.
