Nigeria’s major carrier, Arik Air, has been named winner of Best In-flight Service Airline award for 2023 organised by the Nigerian Aviation (NIGAV) Awards.

Fortune Idu, promoter of NIGAV Awards, presented the award plaque recently at Arik Air head office, Ikeja, Lagos to Roy Ilegbodu, the chief executive officer of the airline.

Idu, who apologised for the inability to present the award to Arik Air at the 13th NIGAV Award and Ministerial dinner held in February, commended the airline for its sustainability and positive impact in the aviation sector.

He applauded the airline for being able to deliver excellent service over the years while also commending one of its cabin crew members, Tyger Opunabo, for winning the King of the Air contest at the Ministerial dinner/awards.

Responding, Ilegbodu thanked the organisers of NIGAV awards for the honour stressing that he has been following the event over the years and was impressed by its quality.

The CEO said the two awards have demonstrated the quality of staff in Arik Air, adding that: “We have a great team here and this is a result of our investment in human capital. We will continue to do our best in uplifting the standard of aviation in Nigeria”
