Arik airlines are synonymous to Lagos MOLUEs #NOTSURPRISED.

For once...it is the fault of the airline.

You leave passengers hanging for six hours...no explanation,no rescheduling.

Arik air better improve.

And don't we have regulators who invariably report to the minister in charge of the aviation ministry? Incident like this should not be swept under the carpet without appropriate punitive measures to forestall future re-occurrence.

Must I fly Arik? With their Aged aircrafts




Cheeeers

Dana is cheaper and always prompt. I like Aero too. Arik delays too much. Last week they delay flcht from Calabar to Abuja for over 8hours and when I raised the issue of refund which they claimed on their banners at airport. I was just told nothing can be done.


Air Peace is always prompt and on time, fee moderate but flies East mostly

According to Okemini Otum, a www.metronaija.com reader, angry passengers who were billed to fly Arik Air into Lagos but were delayed for 6 hours due to an overbooked plane, rushed into the next Arik plane that arrived the airport and didn't care if it was their scheduled plane or not. See more photos of the angry passengers after the cut...

From where? Waiting time possibly enough to make the journey in our humpty-dumpty roads.

ARIK AIR HAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE of flight rates in Nigeria. Only advantage they have is that they have more flights per day to a destination when compared to other airlines.

Do u know jack abt flight operations?

eyeview:
And the minister under whose portfolio lies this mess is busy shifting millions to his homestate to mobilize youths to kill themselves for his personal vendetta against the state governor.
It is well

phantonce:
And some transgression wailers are complaining of no money and things been hard.

instead of them getting a job,they are all over nairaland complaining.

See crowd,wey no be say promo dey go on.

henrydadon:

It's actually terrible as airlines in the country attend to their customers. How on earth could they book passangers beyond available space for a trip? Where did we keep the technology?

@ henrydadon, Arik has never been the cheapest flight in Nigeria. Do confirm your post pls.

repogirl:
Na wah, wetin cause the delays na?


I remember this time last year, when they cancelled their flights suddenly because of scarcity of aviation fuel and left many people stranded including me and my family at the airport.

Thank God sey we get people for Lagos, we had somewhere to spend the night. Some others were not so fortunate. Na airport dem sleep. Some people took out their anger on the Arik staff, beating them mercilessly.

It's not funny when Nigerians are pissed.

nice story. Nigerians gat no chill.

No aviation fuel. Planes are grounded due to the non availability of the product

Yes son,I do know that you can count the viable commercial airlines with the fingers of one hand.
I know that those who are still in operation are doing so under heavy debt profile that occassionally require bail out funds.
I know that a few who had dared venture into this sector have packed up.
I know that there are more private and chartered airlines now than commercial ones.
Son,I know that most who have left complained of so much beaurecracy and high powered extortion from the regulatory bodies like faan,nama,ncaa etc which occassionally has caused friction between the management of the airlines and the regulators.
I know that these issues has led to a very few airlines like arik now catering for the teeming population of air passengers.
Son,you and I know that if we could boast of just 10viable commercial airlines,this rush won't be there on a single airline.
One would have hoped that the minister who covers the aviation sector would sit to discuss with the players and operators on how to open up the opportunities for more commercial airlines and hopefully reduce or even squash the extortions faced by the players at the hands of the regulators.
Son,as I speak to you,there are many private aviation companies rendering skeletal auxilliary services waiting for the enabling environment to expand(via international partners or local funding) their services to commercial airlifting.
So you see son,I know enough to know that if the minister will sit down to work and look for how to create the enabling environment,there won't be this run on a single flight.
Son,I know enough cos we too lie in wait to invest. We pray and hope the sector experiences life. Until then,our group plays in other sectors.
Have a nice day.

this first happened to me in 1994 while boarding kabo air from Lagos to Jos.
it was around 9:30 pm,omo I took standing from Lagos to jos with little sitting on the floor of the walk way during the journey.
we were plenty standing even after paying the right fare of about #550 or #750 then.
God help us in Nigeria.
