We make N75m refund to customers weekly — Arik

The Asset Management Company of Nigeria-appointed management of Arik Air has said that as a result of the rot in the airline, it is being forced to make refunds of between N60m and N75m to dissatisfied customers on a weekly basis.

According to the Chief Executive Officer, Arik Air, Capt. Roy Ilegbodu, the new management has been saddled with the unpleasant task of making refunds to customers, especially those who had bought tickets on the international routes before AMCON took over the ailing airline, which led to the suspension of flights to foreign destinations.

Presenting a scorecard of the AMCON-appointed management since it took over the airline on February 9, 2017, at a forum in Lagos on Tuesday, Ilegbodu said its international operations would remain suspended until certain things were sorted out, adding that there was no reason to rush back.
