Boss13: Even if he had been travelling around the country in a space shuttle before now, he still ought to have all the facts about the ministry he oversees! How does he improve what he knows almost nothing about? Where exactly then is his focus? |

mulante: Why are you so easily impressed? it is not any news that Nigerians have been suffering extremely poor service for YEARS from these carriers. Successive aviation ministers have done nothing to ameliorate this. Nursing mothers have been left stranded at airports for over 6 hours, with only a perfunctory apology. Unless he has been living under a rock or is pretending to be deaf and dumb, he has known about this shite for ages now. 2 Likes |

Arik Air.. The only Airlinr to delay a flight for over 10 hours without apology.. Mr. aviation Minister, we don't need your Fhucking tweets.. Go fix this problem. These Fhucking greedy Airlines should either be forced to merge like the Banks were forced so as to improve their capacity or form partnerships like The way Airfrance has Sky Team and Sky Alliance.. That way, if Arik has operational hiccups, they can put passengers on Aero or any other partner flight and fly them to their destination.. Same way Air France was flying people through Delta and Lufthansa when they were on strike.. Also Mr Aviation Minister... Arik Air are this complacent because you have seeded all the sweet time slots to them. Arik Air has the first flight out of all Nigerian Airports.. That is why they can afford to treat all other flights as unimportant because they make their money at the start of the day already.. How about the government opens up time slots for airlines. If Aero Contractors and Arik both have 7 am flights out of the same airport, prices would crash.. Stop tweeting like a 16 year old girl and go do your work.. Many people have lost opportunities of a lifetime because of this type of delays. 4 Likes |

Arik Air, punctuality is not in their company's statement. Even now local travel agents are discouraging people from booking tickets with Arik on international flights, because of the same bad customer service they too are experiencing from them. 1 Like |

Good thing he has experienced the delay himself as Minister. However it should be noted that Nigerian Airlines are operating against a lot of odds primary which are: 1. Poor airport infrastructure (The renovated domestic airport has only 2 screening gates) 2. Continues slide of the naira ( maintenance parts getting more expensive by the day) 3. Import duty tax for aircraft spares ( Parts are sourced from overseas 10% of the price of the part is charged before it is cleared by customs) The Honorable Minister should look deeper cause you cannot apportion the blame squarely on the airline(s) alone. 1 Like |

Imagine a 9:00 am flight (Owerri - Lagos) today is being delayed by Arik as at now. It was rescheduled to 12:50pm and the airplane is yet to even land talk more of boarding. Meanwhile, yesterday's 5:00pm flight was cancelled altogether. The passengers turned in for today's 9:00am flight to meet the scenario above. How painful! *** Modified Finally there was an announcement at 1:23pm that the flight would be touching down at 2:05pm and it did. Eventual take-off time was between 2:27 and 2:30pm. So much for a 9:00am flight. 1 Like |

On the 29th of July, 2014 i was to board an Arik flight from Portharcourt to Lagos by 1700hrs got to the airport an hour before boarding waiting patiently for my flight. By 1700hrs they announced an hour delay of the flight. When the one hour delay elapsed they announced another 30 mins delay. By 1830hrs no announcement again. By 10pm passengers started getting worried we went to Arik counter to ask for what was happening they couldnt give any cogent information. Since i will be connecting another flight in lagos the following money i couldnt leave the aiport. Finally we started boarding by 1am and alighted from the flight in Lagos minutes after 2am. You can imagine the kind of risk people lives are been subjected to just because you want a faster means of transportation. It is a news because a minister was involved how pathetic. There are thousand of Nigerians that had suffer the same fate from Arik over the years and nothing has happened. Just threat arik by saying yo will sue them for messing up your schedule and the response will be ' Yours will be the 1001 case in court. |

There are 3 reasons y a flight will b cancelled 1) something is wrong with the plane 2) something is wrong with the pilot 3) something is wrong with the weather All these reasons are for our safety. I would rather be down here wishing I was up there than being up there wishing I was down here. |

Arik Air again! Their customer service is a disaster!! My wife missed her flight last month when returning to Dubai because of their lack of professionalism. Painfully, I had to pay for their mistake and they refused to reply any of my complaints. That was the first in our many years of traveling to experience such, needless to mention that it was the first time (and the last) to try Arik Air. 1 Like |
