    Flight Shut Down: Arik Air, Aero Contractors to Operate Flights on Monday

    The management of Arik Air Limited and Aero Contractors have both confirmed that it will be operating all their scheduled flights on Monday, May 9, 2022 despite the planned shutdown of flight services as announced by the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON).

    It would be recalled that AON, on Friday announced its decision to suspend flight operations from Monday.

    In a joint statement issued on Sunday, the managements of Arik Air Limited and Aero Contractors said they would continue operations, but added that they support the efforts by the AON to address the fuel price hike.

    According to the joint statement, “Arik Air Limited (In Receivership) and Aero Contractors (In Receivership) wish to bring to the notice of the traveling public that both airlines will be operating all their scheduled flights on Monday, May 9, 2022,” the statement reads.

    “Both managements fully identify with and endorse the efforts of the Airline Operators of Nigeria ( AON ) to bring about a conducive operating environment for Nigerian carriers as the current price of JET A1 is unsustainable and could result in the untimely demise of most airlines.

    “However, we have assurances that the government is looking at the issues raised by the AON and will come up with a decision that will be in the best interest of the industry and the traveling public.

    “Passengers who are booked to travel on both Arik Air Aero Contractors tomorrow and beyond should proceed to their airports of departure to board”.
