The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said it has not suspended Arik Air’s flight operations.
NCAA disclosed this on Friday in a statement signed by the Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu.
The Authority said,”It is important to clarify that the action does not include the suspension of Arik Air’s overall operations by either the NCAA or the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development as claimed in some quarters.
“The NCAA is duty-bound to comply with the court order attaching Arik Air’s aircraft (SNMJF; SNMJQ; SNBKX) following the determination of its case at the Supreme Court and to ensure compliance with regulatory and safety standards.
“The NCAA reiterates that it has not suspended or halted Arik Air’s flight operations, which continue as scheduled and do not affect the airline’s ability to operate its remaining fleet.
“We appreciate the public’s understanding and patience as Arik Air works through this situation with minimal disruption.”
