…increases frequencies on key Northern routes

Nigeria’s Arik Air has announced a reduction of ticket prices across its network with a view to stimulating the interest of more Nigerians to air travel.

The airline has introduced N23, 000 (twenty-three thousand naira) on its tickets, as a promotional drive on some key northern routes.

In the same vein, the airline has increased frequencies on some of its key northern routes to cope with customers’ demands.

The airline said the affected routes, which are now being operated daily, are “Abuja-Sokoto, Abuja-Kano, Abuja-Yola, and Lagos-Jos.”

According to the airline, “the decision to add more frequencies to the scheduled flights on these routes was informed by the need to give customers more choices on these destinations.”

Arik Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Captain Roy Ilegbodu elaborated: “We want to give our customers on the Sokoto, Kano, Yola and Jos routes more choices of flights to ease their travels.

“Also we want to further stimulate air travel among Nigerians by introducing promotional fares.”

The airline said passengers can access the promotional fares on its sales platforms online – at www.arikair.com, and Arik Air’s airport/city ticketing offices.
