Arik Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Captain Roy Ilegbodu said: “We made a promise to our esteemed customers that we will be returning to the routes that were suspended earlier in the year and our resumption of flights to Warri and now Owerri is a promise kept.”
In the coming weeks, the airline will be returning to more previously suspended destinations as well as opening more routes to cope with passengers’ demands.
