In order to minimise the disruption of travel plans of its valued customers, Arik Air said all its flights into Osubi Airport Warri from Lagos and Abuja will be diverted to land at the Benin Airport from Monday, September 3, 2018, until the Warri Airport is reopened.
The airline implored customers who have booked to travel to Warri with Arik Air have to bear with the airline in this period as a result of the disruption of services to Osubi Airport, Warri and regrets the inconveniences the diversion will cause them.
