The management of Arik Air has announced the resumption of normal flight operations after Monday’s disruption by a group of unionists.
According to the airline’s spokesman, Adebanji Ola, all the early morning flights for the day were operated as scheduled.
“All our early morning flights for Tuesday, 15 September, 2020 operated in and out of Lagos on schedule and all other flights for the day will operate as scheduled,” Ola said.
“Once again, we apologize to all our valued customers for the disruption to their travel plans on Monday and assure them of our resolve to continually adhere to safety standards,” he said.

The airline’s operations were grounded on Monday by workers under the aegis of National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) and the Air Transport Senior Staff Services Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), who said the company did not accede to their demands on Condition of Service.
The workers’ protest left air passengers across Nigeria who were scheduled to board Arik Air on Monday stranded.
Ola said passengers with tickets who could not fly on Monday can modify such tickets at no extra cost to travel at any time.
“We thank our esteemed customers for their understanding, confidence and support during this period,” he said.
