I have been hearing so many complaints about this airline, but Nigerians are the cause of their own pain. Tomorrow these same people will buy an Arik ticket again,including those reading now. So how do u expect the airline to give better services when they know it's citizens will eat every crap served,compalin and yet again come back for more crap.

made in nigeria.
tell me another airline that goes from lagos to London Heathrow (direct flight no stop over) and collect 1 million for a family of 5 (2adults, 2 kids, 1 infant)
see why they will always get customers

Better safe than sorry. Its better they delay it for hrs and y'all get to your destinations safely than for us to come and start in praying for your souls to rest in peace #stillannoyingtho
nigerian mentality.

So other airline don't have safety measures? If you have been flying arik you'll understand what this people went thru.



There was a time they left us inside the airplane for over an hour without the AC. I made myself a promise not to go near them again

Why should they be thankful they were not delayed overnight?
Did they not pay for a service or is the flight free of charge?

The government/ Airline authorities need to introduce a Compensation policy, by the time Arik spends a good chunk of their profits compensating for delayed flights, they will sit up.

I was actually being sarcastic with my remark,

You are correct. ARIK did it to me once, and it was the only time ever. Nigerians should willfully kill that airline by refusing to fly with it. Enough ought to be enough.

who da hell? flies Arik Air, their customers service is Rubbish
last time i traveled with Arik. After i paid some guy who claims he works for arik for my luggages and obtaining a boarding pass, after delaying for over 4 hours. at the Gate i was told that i ve not paid as my payment was not recorded by who ever i have paid to. and i was like what . they tried to force me to pay again, they thought that because i was from Abroad that i will play gentle. i took my trousers off and told them that they are gonna have to engage me into a fight before i strangle one of them or either they let me board.

ultimately they had to let me board. After that experience i ve never gone near Arik Air even if they are the last airline i would rather walk from Abuja to Enugu Arik sh!t airline

It is not the fact that the flight was delayed that annoys the passengers but the non communication and bad treatment of customers. I've stopped using Arik air since last year. Maybe if more people boycott them they might get their act together. But unfortunately Nigeria is a country of all talk and no action.
boycott them? what's the alternative. they're the only ones flying to us direct at cheapest price

Arik Air owes every single agency FAAN, NAMA etc and the aviation unions.(over 12b).They even owe their "vulcanizers?"

i suspect that's what is going to be, nigerians like cheap Goods, cheap every thing, cheap air ticket hence the treatment meted to them by Arik.
they wouldn't want to pay More for better service, i am sure they have heard of British air, Lufthansa or American airways grin

yes BA flies direct from nigeria to london for people travelling to the UK or from nigeria to london and a conecting flight to the US from london With American airline, for people travelling to the US. you do not have to fly direct. besides a 17 hours long haul is not very healthy.
