To avoid any misrepresentation on its operations, management of Arik Air has said that its aircraft operating flight W3 7631 from Benin to Lagos this morning aborted take-off when the Pilot in Command (PIC) observed an abnormality during the take-off run.
In a statement spokesman of the airline, Banji Ola said, “the aircraft, a Bombardier CRJ900 was brought under control on the runway in the process with no damage to the aircraft and no injury to the passengers on board”.
Ola added that an alternative aircraft was immediately provided to fly the passengers to Lagos while the former aircraft has since been ferried to Lagos for checks/observation and maintenance.
The airline has therefore apologised to its customers for any inconveniences even as it restated its commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards at all times.
