Arik Air Adds Second Daily Abuja – Enugu Rotation

Independent Nigerian carrier Arik Air has increased capacity on the Abuja – Enugu domestic route with the introduction of a second daily rotation from July 1. The new evening flight complements the existing morning service and has been introduced to meet growing demand at both ends of the route.

Arik Air returned to Akanu Ibiam Airport in Enugu in December last year following the completion of regeneration works by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). It is witnessing a strong demand from the city and in April this year introduced a new connection to Kano, the first domestic link between the two cities.

“With this additional daily flight, our customers now have more choice on the Abuja-Enugu route – an increased service that they have been asking for,” said Bert Van der Stege, Vice President Planning & Marketing, Arik Air. “We have identitified and delivered on this demand and are continuously reviewing our domestic route network to offer increased and seamless connections.”
