UK Govt stops Arik Air from flying to London. FG Retaliates!

The British Government last week stopped Arik Air, the only Nigerian airline that flies to London Heathrow from Abuja, from operating, due to what Arik alleges to be discrepancies in the Bilateral Air Services Agreement. Read full story here

Meanwhile, in what is considered a retaliatory move, the Federal Government has slashed British Airways flights to Lagos from seven times a week to three, with effect from Tuesday, November 8. The senate has called for Arik Air's restoration license within 9 days or else BA will stop flying into Nigeria.

Do you support the FG move?
