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”
