The report notes that whereas the majority of airlines around the world offer 31 to 32 inches with some offering even as low as 29 to 30 inches, Arik Air is one of the “elite few that still provide a comfortable 34 ins seat pitch where travellers will enjoy greatest comfort”
Other Airlines rated in this category are: Qatar Airways, Kingfisher Airlines, Thai Airways, Asiana Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Air China, Garuda Indonesia, and Korean Air.
Commenting on the rating, Chris Ndulue, Managing Director of Arik Air while noting that the rating is an established fact added that all its Aircraft are configured specifically to provide more legroom whether in Economy or in Business/Premier class.
“Our Business class and Economy class cabins are designed to provide a generous legroom. Our Premier class seat actually converts into a full flat bed for maximum comfort. In fact, the comfort we offer our guests cuts across our network whether you’re flying domestic, regional or intercontinental. At Arik Air, comfort and safety remains our topmost priority’, he said.
Arik Air operates a fleet of 28 state-of-the art regional, medium haul and long haul aircraft including two Airbus A340-500 making the airline the first operator of the wide bodied aircraft in Africa.
