He said that their support and cooperation was instrumental in the airline’s return to the skies.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that the Nigerian Airspace Management Authority (NAMA), in July, ordered the grounding of Arik Air operations; following an alleged failure to pay 2.5 million dollar debt it owed Atlas Petroleum Int’l Ltd.

NAN also recalled that on Aug. 2, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) suspended Arik Air’s flight operations as well as the grounding of its three affected aircraft – 5NMJF; 5NMJQ; and 5NBKX -.
