Recommend Internal Carrier in Nigeria
 

Hi guys, a few of the company i work for are off to Nigeria - visiting Warri and then flying to Abuja and Lagos.
Can anyone here recommend a decent internal carrier flying between these places as one of the team is me!

:)

There are only 2 worth considering: AeroContractors or Arik. The advantage with Aero is that they fly from MM2 terminal (which is almost like a terminal) in which to while away the hours while you wait for your (very) delayed flight :}. Arik flies from the old domestic terminal where, after the check-in process (which resembles participating in a cage fight), you can wait for your delayed flight in a zoo :}

Arik is the only Airline to fly with in Nigeria. Flights are not delayed very often right now the schedule is working pretty ok. They are using the best equipment in Nigeria and are backed by European Engineers from Lufthansa the best in the world. Its a no brainer...i`m not looking for cheap i`m looking for safe..my life is not cheap

A couple of opinions here....

Well reading those opinions now in hindsights makes you laugh people saying fly Dana lol the airline that killed 156 people in June

Soggyboxes, very aptly put :D

I remember the old domestic terminal when I flew all around Nigeria in 2000 and it was just like that.

It,s amazing how some of you guys run down anything & everything connected with that part of the world, never anything good to say, and yet your livelihood and that of your whole family depends on remaininig there, other wise you would've been so pissed off and put off by the whole zoo thing, you would've left to a more civillised part of the world.
JFK or LHR did,nt become what it is overnight.

Like soggyboxers says, there are only 2 worth considering, AERO or ARIK. I have flown with both and they are much of a muchness, the terminal facilities for AERO being a big plus for them and the newer equipment at ARIK being in their favour.
Dana is supposed to be flying again, but I am not sure if they have actually started operations yet.

I agree
 

As Unstable Load said, Arik and Aero are the only two that i'd recommend. Dana has yet to start flying, but I did see them out doing proving runs not long ago, so maybe they will be back soon.
