Arik Air, Nigeria’s largest carrier, says it will resume
daily flight operations between Abuja and Accra, Ghana on July 17.
The airline’s Chief Executive Officer, Capt. Roy Ilegbodu,
disclosed this on Friday in Lagos that the resumption of flights between
the two countries was part of efforts to satisfy the company’s customers.
Ilegbodu said flights were suspended on the Abuja-Accra
route in March following the closure of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport,
Abuja, to pave way for the rehabilitation of the runway.
He said the Abuja-Accra flight would operate daily at 5.30
p.m. (local time) departure out of Abuja with a departure time of 7.40 p.m.
(local time) in Accra.
“The re-introduction of the Abuja-Accra operation is part of
the management’s strategy to optimise flight schedule and respond to the needs
of our valued customers.
“Arik Air has been in the forefront of providing
customer-centred services since our inception and we will continue to respond
to the needs of our customers,” the CEO said in a statement.
