About
Arik Air is a Nigerian airline with its main base at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, and a secondary hub at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. In 2006 Arik Air took over the assets of the bankrupt national airline Nigeria Airways, and today the airline offers domestic, regional and intercontinental services to destinations in North America and Europe.
Nigeria's Ministry of Aviation grounded Arik Air's fleet as of 30-Jul-2024. The grounding is related to a Supreme Court order stating the carrier owes a USD2.5 million aircraft lease debt to Atlas Petroleum.
On 03-Aug-2024, Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) confirmed the grounding of three aircraft in Arik Air's fleet. NCAA added the carrier's operations have not been suspended and the airline remains eligible to operate the remainder of its fleet.
