Nigerian elections: Arik flight cancellations

ARIK Air will cancel all its domestic flights on April 9 and 16 due to the Nigerian elections, which are being held on these days.

The Nigerian Government has imposed road restrictions from 07h00-17h00 on these days and, as a result, passengers arriving in Lagos during these times will not be able to leave the airport buildings until 17h00.

However, flight W3 104 from Johannesburg will operate as scheduled. The airline’s website is currently being updated and inventory amended. Passengers holding bookings for cancelled flights will be contacted.

The airline is expecting similar restrictions on April 26 but this is subject to confirmation by the relevant authorities.
