Arik Air will resume normal flights Wednesday morning, 24 hours after it
suspended operations over problems with insurance. In a statement on
its website, Arik Air, Nigeria’s biggest airline, said it will resume
flights at 11am on Wednesday, having resolved its insurance issues.
The company also said it is in the process of changing its ‘airline Liability Insurance providers’.
“Arik
Air, West and Central Africa’s largest airline, is pleased to announce
that scheduled flights will resume from 11am tomorrow, Wednesday
September 14, 2016.
“Members
of the public and our customers are advised to discountenance the
disparaging allegations, unsubstantiated and uninformed claims about the
airline’s inability to meet its financial obligations to aviation fuel
marketers and a purported withdrawal of insurance services to Arik Air
by its insurers.
“While
the current scarcity of aviation fuel (JET A1) has impacted on the
operations of airlines in the country, Arik Air is in good standing with
its fuel suppliers and has been meeting its obligations to them and to
our insurers. “With the regularisation of the required documents
relating to the renewal of the insurance, Arik Air will be resuming its
normal flying schedule from 1100 hours on Wednesday, September 14, 2016.
“Arik
Air regrets the unfortunate inconvenience caused to its customers and
reassures our customers of expedient rebooking of their flights.” The
airline had created panic in the aviation sector on Tuesday after it
announced the suspension of flights. The action held prospects of
shrinking flight options for travellers, especially as two other
domestic airlines have grounded operations.
