Nigeria - Arik Air has strongly condemned recent online reports published alleging that it is in financial trouble and may be going bankrupt.
The airline in a statement yesterday slammed the publication, saying ti was the handiwork of fly-by-night social media sites trying to ride on the popularity and huge followership of Arik Air, to attract attention or relevance to their sites.
“These harbingers of bad news in their senseless sensationalism and quack journalism would stop at nothing including pulling down national institutions, and icons, in order to achieve their narrow pecuniary interests and those of their desperate sponsors.”
"Arik Air it is not deterred by this smear campaign as the airline has been steadily operating over 100 flights on a daily basis which are being increased to 110 from the on-set of the winter season.
“We have already launched expansion into cities such as Abidjan, Monrovia, Cotonou and Douala which are being further increased to weekly frequencies from this week onwards and therefore find it ridiculous for anyone to suggest that the airline is going bankrupt. Our long haul international flights to London and Johannesburg continue to be operated on a daily basis without any issues along with New York JFK which is flown three times per week.”
"The airline also denied reports of mass resignations of pilots and cabin crew saying they are totally inaccurate.
