Arik Air has announced the resumption of its operation to Asaba and the re-introduction of flight connections from Abuja to Benin and Abuja to Port Harcourt.
The airline said in a statement by its spokesman, Mr Adebanji Ola that the Lagos-Asaba operation begins October 17, 2024 while the Abuja-Benin and Abuja-Port Harcourt flights commence October 4 and 10 respectively.
The airline further said there will be four weekly flights from Lagos to Asaba, originating from the general aviation terminal of the Murtala Muhammed Airport.
It also stated that Abuja-Port Harcourt flights will operate daily while the Abuja-Benin route will be served thrice weekly.
The airline also increased its frequencies on the Lagos-Benin and Lagos-Warri routes to daily flights to deepen its presence in the market.
The airline said the reintroduction of flights to the routes was part of its strategy to reconnect the key routes that were hitherto suspended due to operational reasons.
Commenting on the development, the airline’s chief executive officer, Capt 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,” he said.
