Arik adds to Nigeria

ARIK, the Nigerian airline, has taken delivery of a brand new Airbus A330-300.  It will replace later in the Spring a Boeing 737 which is currently flying the five times per week Abuja – Heathrow route.  The configuration is 24 Business Class seats (2+2+2) and 269 Economy seats (2+4+2) each with seat back in-flight entertainment (IFE).  Arik made its first scheduled passenger flight in October 2006 and now flies to 20 domestic and 13 international destinations in nine countries.  It also serves London  from Lagos with a daily Airbus A340 operation, and also JFK New York with a flight time of around 12 hours, the only carrier on the route. www.arikair.com
