Arik Air has been honoured as Airline of the Decade 2010-2020 at the Travellers Award 2020 organised by the publishers of African Travel Quarterly (ATQ)/Travellers magazine.
The awards ceremony held on March 27, 2021 at the Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja attracted two ambassadors, commissioners of tourism and culture from four states as well as top travel agents and tour operators.
The publisher of ATQ Magazine and Tourism ambassador, Mr. Ikechi Ukoh explained that the airline was the obvious choice for the Airline of the Decade 2010-2020 because “it still holds the flag of its time in the sun.”
He said “Arik Air is still a global brand from Nigeria, kudos goes to the founders and the workers who helped build the brand.”
Responding while receiving the award from the ambassador of Trinidad and Tobago, Mr. Wendell De Landro, the airline’s chief pilot, Capt. Chris Najomo thanked the organisers of the award for finding Arik Air worthy of the honour.
He said the conferee would continue to be a safe, reliable and customer focused carrier.
