Communications Manager, Arik Air, Adebanji Ola, in a statement issued on Friday, explained that flights across the country would operate as scheduled.

He advised passengers to arrive at the airport early to have ample time to complete boarding formalities.

He further stated, “Customers who could not use their tickets during the period of the curfew can modify such tickets at no extra cost.”

“The management of Arik Air thanks customers for their understanding while the cancellation of flights lasted,” he added.

Also, spokesperson for Dana Air, Kingsley Ezenwa announced that the airline was “pleased to inform its passengers that the company would resume full flight operations from Saturday, the 24th of October 2020”.
