After an eight-day suspension, Arik Air has resumed its scheduled flights following the grounding of its operations by the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA).
This action was taken in line with a Supreme Court ruling.
The airline confirmed the resumption of services on Thursday, with its CEO, Capt. Roy Ilegbodu, noting that during the pause, efforts were focused on ensuring a smooth return to service.
Arik Air has expressed its readiness to serve passengers again, emphasizing improvements in the overall travel experience.
The airline was originally grounded on July 31, 2024, due to a $2.5 million debt, as directed by the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development and NAMA.
Three of Arik Air’s aircraft, including a Boeing 737-700, a Boeing 737-800, and a DASH8-Q400, were affected by the ruling.
The debt is owed to Atlas Petroleum International Ltd, which led to the attachment of the airline’s planes.
