No Arik Air flights to Sierra Leone and LIberia for now

Arik Air have suspended flights to Sierra Leone and Liberia after the death of Liberian Mr Patrick Sawyer last week. It has been advised all inbound flights from Ebola infected countries be suspended immediately to contain the highly infectious virus.



Mr Ola Adebanji, Public Relations General Manager for Arik Air said "As a result of the first Ebola virus death officially confirmed in Lagos, involving a Liberian national who flew on a foreign (non- Nigerian) based airline from Monrovia via Lome (Togo) into the city last week, Arik Air will be suspending operations into Monrovia(Liberia) and Freetown (Sierra Leone) effective July 28,2014."

"The suspension will be in force until further notice.This decision is a pre-cautionary measure aimed at safeguarding the precious lives of  Nigerians. Arik Air is taking this important measure as a concerned corporate citizen bearing interest of Nigerians at heart."
