Arik Air Resumes Services Between Lagos and Jos
By Lateef Lawal
Arik Air has resumed services between Lagos and Jos, capital of Plateau State. The airline suspended services to Jos on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 following the outbreak of religious riot in the city and the imposition of 24-hour curfew in the troubled city by the State government.
Arik Air’s Managing Director, Mr. Jason Holt said: “The safety of our passengers and employees is always paramount. During the three days, the airline’s security team has been monitoring the situation in Jos closely and our local management has been liaising continuously with authorities. At this time, there is consensus that it is safe to resume our services.” ( Continues below..... )

Arik Air Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Suraj Sundaram added: “The resumption of flights means that Arik Air once again offers our guests daily flights between Lagos and Jos. Flights depart Lagos at 11:55 am, arriving Jos at 1:20 pm, while the return flight leaves Jos at 1:50 pm and arrives Lagos at 3:15 pm.”
Arik Air operates a fleet of 31 state-of-the-art regional, medium haul and long haul aircraft. The airline serves 22 airports across Nigeria as well as Accra (Ghana), Banjul (Gambia), Cotonou (Benin), Dakar (Senegal), Freetown (Sierra Leone), Niamey (Niger), London Heathrow (UK), Johannesburg (South Africa) and New York JFK (USA).
The airline currently operates over 130 flights daily from its hubs in Lagos and Abuja. It employs a workforce of more than 1,800.
