This maintenance exercise, the airline, through Serah Awogbade, Head of Commercial for the airline, will be completed on or before September 15th, 2016.
“The Airline planned this maintenance action well ahead, notified passengers and flights are currently loaded online effective September 15th, 2016 – this will ensure that passengers continue to enjoy safe and reliable service that the airline is reputed for.
“Current foreign exchange constraint, coupled with over 70% devaluation of Naira partly contributed in no small measure to this development.
