Arik Air that recently rolled out flights between West African international airports and Abu Dhabi International Airport in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) would prove boon for the people and help to promote business, tourism and commercial activities across the regions.

Arik Air’s group Chief Executive, Michael Arumemi-Ikhide told that the airline would formally roll out services on November 29 offering non-stop connectivity between two nations. He went on to say, “We look to more growth on the route between West Africa and Abu Dhabi travelers and business. Abu Dhabi has continued to become an increasingly important hub for business and tourism.”

He hoped that the move would further strengthen ties with the Abu Dhabi Airports Company and people from both sides would be able to avail services at very genuine prices.

The airline said in a statement that flights would depart Abu Dhabi every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:00 am local time to reach in Lagos at 12:15 pm through an Airbus A340-500, having a passenger a seating capacity of 237.
