Arik Air, Nigeria and West Africa’s leading commercial
airline has increased its fleet to 24 aircraft with the introduction of an
Airbus A330-200 twin engine aircraft. This latest addition to the fleet marks
the first of four A330 aircraft due to be delivered over the coming year.
The new A330 aircraft will compliment Arik Air’s long-haul
wide body fleet, which currently consists of two A340-500 aircraft. Fitted to
offer the very best in-flight comfort and style, the new additions are an
environmentally-friendly product that will provide the highest degree of
operational flexibility and passenger comfort. The A330s offer a two class
configuration with 30 Premier Business Class seats and 187 Economy Class seats,
compared to 36 Premier Business Class seats and 201 Economy Class seats in the
A340 aircraft.
Both aircraft types are fitted with the same on-board
product, providing the latest in comfort and style and a consistent product
experience across the long-haul fleet. This enables Arik Air the opportunity to
upgrade the Lagos – Johannesburg route, replacing the existing B737-800
currently flying between the two cities, as well as to look at opportunities to
develop new long-haul destinations, such as in China, UAE, Brazil or more
cities in the US and Europe.
