Arik Air recently resumed flights from Nigeria to Benin City, after the airport in Edo State was re-opened by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria.
Benin Airport was temporarily closed by FAAN on 20 June to facilitate rehabilitation works on the airport’s runway. The closure was initially scheduled to last for just 20 days, but the work took longer than expected to complete.
Arik has recommenced flights as per its schedule – three daily return flights from Lagos, and one daily return flight from Abuja.
