@faithee_slyARIK GROUNDS FLIGHTS
Arik Air is operating only one-third of its schedule on Sunday and canceled all domestic flights a day earlier as fuel shortages worsened in Africa’s top oil producer, a spokesman said.
“We’re operating just a few flights today, maybe 30 percent of our normal operations,” Ola Banji, Arik spokesman said by phone. “We could not operate domestic flights yesterday.”
Arik Air, with 26 aircraft, cut two-thirds of its 120 daily flights. That included flights to London’s Heathrow and New York needing to stop over for fuel in Kano, about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) north of Lagos, Banji said.
Aero Contractors Ltd., Nigeria’s second-largest carrier, said on its website that “all our flights will not operate regularly as scheduled” due to fuel scarcity.
Nigerians have faced long queues for fuel for weeks across Africa’s biggest economy, which relies on imports to meet more than 70 percent of domestic needs, with Nigeria’s airline industry the latest to feel the pinch from shortages.
