Arik
Air Released this statement on its website “Due to an action by the
FAAN Union at the General Aviation Terminal in Lagos, we are sorry to
advise our passengers that all domestic flights by Arik Air are
cancelled for today Thursday 20 September. This information will be
updated once we hear of any change. Passengers who have tickets to
travel today will be re-booked on available flights once operations
resume”.
A further statement from the airline to passengers said:
"Due
to persistent hostility of the Ministry of Aviation, and FAAN
management, which has culminated in the use of FAAN staff to stop Arik
Air operations and lock in checked-in passengers in Lagos this morning,
Arik Air has no option than to suspend all domestic operations until
further notice. This issue bothers on personal interests, and not
payment of bills; since FAAN has been collecting their charges in
advance since 18 months now. Arik Air regrets the inconveniences this
disruption by FAAN, would cause you. Thank you for your much-valued
support."
This is a developing story.
