Nigerian government lifts suspension of Arik Air operations

The Federal Government has lifted the suspension of Arik Air operations.

In July, the Nigerian Airspace Management Authority (NAMA) suspended Arik Air’s operations over alleged failure to pay a $2.5 million debt to Atlas Petroleum International Limited.

On August 2, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) suspended Arik Air flight operations and grounded its three affected aircraft – 5NMJF, 5NMJQ, and 5NBKX -.

Arik Air Limited Chief Executive, Captain Roy Ilegbodu, announced the resumption of the airline’s flight operations in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
