Arik Air, a leading airline in Nigeria, is re-launching flight services to Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri the Imo State capital. Daily flights to Owerri from the Murtala Muhammed Domestic Airport, Lagos will resume on Monday, October 21, 2019.
Arik Air suspended flights to Owerri early this year due to operational exigencies and since then passengers have been yearning for a return of the carrier.
The re-launch of flights to Owerri is coming on the heels of the resumption of services to Warri by the airline on September 6, 2019.
Roy Ilegbodu, Arik Air’s chief executive officer, said: “We made a promise to our esteemed customers that we will be returning to the routes that were suspended earlier in the year and our resumption of flights to Warri and now Owerri is a promise kept.”
In the coming weeks, the airline will be returning to more previously suspended destinations as well as opening more routes to cope with passengers’ demands.
Customers are advised to visit the airline’s website for best fares or go to any Arik Air City Office or Airport Ticketing Office for ticket reservation.
