Arik Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Roy Ilegbodu, say flight operations will commence on May 9, to Maiduguri, Borno State, four years after suspending operations.Â
Announcing the resumption in a press statement in Lagos, Arik Air said flights to Maiduguri will operate thrice weekly, with the possibility of increasing the frequency in the coming weeks.
The airline, however, said although the flight will operate via Abuja, passengers from other Arik Air network can conveniently connect to Abuja for their onward journey to Maiduguri.
Arik Air suspended operations to Maiduguri in December 2013 due to security reasons.
