Arik Air, West and Central Africa’s largest carrier, has extended the validity of the ongoing N16,000 promotional fare to cover the period of the coming Easter celebrations.

The special fare which enables a customer to buy a one-way ticket to any destination in Nigeria from N16,000 was originally scheduled to end on 31 March, 2017.

With the extension of the promotion, customers still have the opportunity of buying the N16,000 ticket from now until 17 April, 2017 for travel on or before 30 April, 2017.

Commenting on the extension,  Roy Ilegbodu, Arik Air’s chief executive officer, said: “By extending the validity of the special fare till after the Easter celebration, we believe that our customers will take advantage of the huge savings to spend the Easter holidays with their families and loved ones”.

In a related development, Arik Air has significantly improved its on time performance over what obtained in the last couple of weeks. According to the airline, flights now depart within the 15 minutes of their published departure time in line with industry standard of On Time Performance (OTP). 

Arik Air’s CEO disclosed that in the last one month, the airline has exceeded the customers’ expectations with improved service and on time departures.

He said, “our goal in this period and beyond is not only to provide customer friendly services that are safe and reliable, but we also want our customers to have confidence in our schedule knowing that we keep to time.”
