Dana Air and Arik airlines are set to resume flight operations from Lagos airport today, following the relaxation of the 24-hour curfew imposed on the state by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

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”.

He added passengers would be able reschedule tickets they could not use as a result of the #EndSARS protests at no cost.

The curfew was imposed by the governor on Tuesday October 20 to forestall further breakdown of law and order, after hoodlums hijacked the EndSARS protests.
