"Due to an action by the FAAN Union at the General Aviation Terminal in Lagos, we are sorry to advise our passengers that all domestic flights by Arik Air are cancelled until further notice. This information will be updated once we hear of any change. Passengers who have tickets to travel today will be re-booked on available flights once operations resume.
Please note, our regional and international flights are operating as scheduled."
Further information still on Arik's website goes like this...
Arik Air has suspended all domestic operations (within Nigeria) due to a dispute with the Federal Airport Authority Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Ministry of Aviation. All international / regional services continue to operate as normal. We expect the situation to be remedied in the near future for domestic operations.
Passengers who are booked to travel only from London, New York and Johannesburg to Lagos may change their reservations (all charges / penalties apply as normal). Our international services to Lagos operates as normal.
Passengers who are booked to travel only from London, New York and Johannesburg to Lagos and on to West African destinations may change their reservations (all charges / penalties apply as normal). Our international services to Lagos as well as our services to West African destinations operate as normal.
Passengers who are booked to travel only from London, New York and Johannesburg to Lagos and on to domestic-Nigeria services may:
a) continue to travel – domestic flights are not operating and Arik Air will not be able to assist them – a partial refund may be applied for on the unused portion of the ticket on domestic Nigerian flights only; OR
b) re-book their flight on the same routing at a future date without any penalty; OR
c) cancel their journey without penalty and apply for a full refund through the normal procedure.
