Flights spokesman for Arik Air, Mr. Banji Ola, has announced that Arik Air will be suspending its operations to Monrovia (Liberia) and Freetown (Sierra Leone) effectively from July 28, 2014 until further notice.
Banji said, "We are taking this important step as a concerned corporate organisation bearing the interest of Nigerians at heart and this decision is a pre-cautionary measure aimed at safeguarding the precious lives of Nigerians."
He said the airline acknowledged the steps taken by the Federal Government to prevent the spread of the deadly Ebola virus and as a Nigerian operator that had halted its flight into the two countries, it would also suggest to the Nigerian government that all in-bound flights into the country, which originate from any of the two Ebola-affected countries, be immediately suspended.
