Lagos curfew: Arik Air cancels flights

Passengers billed to travel on Wednesday with Arik Air  will not not be able to do so as the airline yesterday announced the cancellation of its flights due to the 24 hour curfew imposed on Lagos State by the Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo- Olu.

Confirming the cancellation of flights, the airline Communication Manager, Mr Adebanji Ola yesterday said : ” Arik Air has cancelled all its flight operations for Wednesday, October 21, 2020 due to the 24 hours curfew announced by the Lagos State government on Tuesday, October 20, 2020”.

“All booked passengers on the cancelled flights are advised to reschedule their flights for later dates at no extra cost. The Lagos State government announced a 24 hours curfew effective 4:00pm October 20, 2020”. Recall the 24 hour curfew took effect yesterday, Tuesday throughout the state to forestall further burning of government and private properties. Thugs have infetrated and hijacked the protest that started peacefully throughout the country. Other airlines might likely join in the cancellation of flights as prospective passengers will not be able to access the Airports.
