I think peoples interest in Arik is because they have all these fantastic orders for new aircraft that would need a massive route growth and huge recruitment of staff if they are to operate.

Many believe that there is no intention of Arik to operate the a/c, that they are going to make a killing by trading a/c delivery slots, and that maybe the deals are a way of 'normalising' some monies that might otherwise be a problem.

The current operation is miniscule compared to what is required for the ordered fleet and Arik are going to need every bit of help and co-operation from a large and varied area of the aviation community, so it is surprising to read on here that they have been seriously upsetting so many established and respected recruitment companies.

It is the incredible orders for a/c such as 747-8's and 787's that generates the interest and questions, and I doubt that you getting upset on here will stop this interest Naija Naija

The interest has been well contained to Arik Air and the bait to turn it into a bash Nigeria fun fest has largely been ignored..................and thank goodness for that!!!
