Wait, what? This is a seat on an Arik plane? (photo)

According to twitter user @sasalam, he paid more than N20k today for seat 14F on #ArikAir W3 721. He got to the seat and viola! - No upholstery, just bare metal. He refused it and told the air hostess who just shrugged like it was something normal. Arik Air, what is this?

I was on this same flight last December. It was a terrible experience for the affected passengers as they ended up in a heated argument with the air hostesses. So these useless Arik still dey use this 'kabu-kabu' aircraft?? Smh for Nigeria

Arik Air is doing management things, Naija is not smiling. God will help us!

No this is unacceptable, he should seek for compensation.

Arik Air has a very poor attitude to management. It is an airline i have worked with before i resigned to my the organisation where i work. I bet it will still be like that for the next 2 months and NCAA, cONSUMERS Agencies are blind to it because the chairman feels no one can challenge him. If you challenge the chairman he will short down operations, just as he has done befor now. i feel sorry for the Airline. The only reason why a company get bees of customers is because the customer have not gotten any other better offer. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

Unknown said...

Gbam,i like d fact Linda didn't hide their name...this kind of public calling out makes dem misbehave less

We take a lot of sh*t for a supposedly oil rich country!! This is unacceptable, especially if you are shelling out as much as 20k for this sh*t!!! We are being taken for granted, ALL ROUND!!

Goziem Oh LORD said...

I imagine but how much will it cost them to fix the seat nah

Anonymous said...

Linda thos is not as serious as U think. Airplane seats are built detachable so as to be used as a floatation device in ditching. The engr's probable worked on the airplane n forgot to return them back. This only tells me the cabin crew never did there jobs right before boarding pax

And this same man has fleeced the power sector with his scams - non performance of contracts. Failed to purchase turbines despite collecting money from the Federal Government. A criminal!

Flora said...

Anonymous said...

The problem with Nigerians is that we don't investigate some issues before conclusion. When an aircraft seat is declared unserviceable and crew on board wouldn't want passengers make a mistake on sitting on such seat, they detach the foam completely and later fix them before take off. Most a time, when you ask a passenger not to sit on a particular seat, they will want to know the reason. This is normal. Anybody on board could as well take pictures to make fun of the airline even if the seat is not assigned to a passenger. If the story is true, the ticketing and reservation staff who issued the ticket for that particular seat should be blamed. This is applicable to the airline i work with.
