NCAA: We didn’t suspend Arik Air operations

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says it has not suspended or halted the flight operations of Arik Air.

The NCAA noted that Arik Air’s operations have continued as scheduled and did not affect the airline’s ability to operate the remaining fleet.

This was made known via a statement issued by the NCAA Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, on Friday, August 2, 2024.

Achimugu stated that the NCAA was duty-bound to comply with court order attaching Arik Air’s aircraft following the determination of its case at the Supreme Court and to ensure compliance with regulatory and safety standards.

He noted: “Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) refers to the grounding of three Arik Air aircraft following a Court Order/Attachment.

“It is important to clarify that the action does not include the suspension of Arik Air’s overall operations by either the NCAA or the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development as claimed in some quarters.

“We appreciate the public’s understanding and patience as Arik Air works through this situation with minimal disruption.”
