Arik Chairman, Sir Joseph Arumemi Ikhide has announced that their airline is successfully going through the certification process. “Although the journey was long, tedious, hard and expensive, it was worth it.”
Striving to meet the global standards of the ICAO and TSA, Arik Air has also been re-certified by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). Six of eight US FAA criteria have been satisfied. Arik Air must satisfy a preliminary (mock) audit by the FAA prior to moving on to the final steps of certification.
