Nigeria - Arik Air has temporarily suspended its flight service to Dubai operating from Lagos via Abuja with effect from April 28, 2015, Thisday reports.

The Airline's Executive Board attributed this decision to challenging wider economic environment in Nigeria as well as increasingly stringent travel regulation controls in the United Arabs Emirates (UAE).

“Our present domestic network is fully developed with flights to most parts of the country; however we will continue to review our frequencies and fleet deployment strategy to ensure we continually match growing demand within and outside of Nigeria for air travel and also operate efficiently.

“Arik Air is committed in its pursuit to meet customer’s expectations through operating and investing in state of the art aircraft and puts great emphasis on safety and reliability. The world’s current attention on economic regeneration and development in West Africa sees Arik Air as a pivotal player in the redevelopment of the region,” the airline said.

Meanwhile, Arik has attributed flight delays and cancellations being experienced by passengers in the last few days to the general scarcity of aviation fuel (Jet A1) in Lagos
