Photos: Passengers rush to board an over-booked Arik flight

According to Okemini Otum who shared a video on his Instagram page, angry passengers who were billed to fly Arik Air into Lagos but were delayed for 6 hours due to an overbooked plane, rushed into the next Arik plane that arrived the airport and didn't care if it was their scheduled plane or not. See more photos of the angry passengers after the cut...

    4. The absolutely worst airline ever. Yesterday was a disaster at the Abuja Airport. Arik Air management should be sued. But since that doesn't work in Nigeria, I think they should be cursed! Hot Curse for that matter. How can you leave passangers at the airport for 8hrs, without a word of explanation or even an update on the status of the flight. After a few hours, I insisted I wanted to speak to the manager. It didn't take me up to 20 seconds before I realized that their entire staff were insane...
      It was after hours of waiting that passangers had to rush to the aircraft. Even then, the plane started misbehaving mid-air..
      Flight scheduled for 5pm didn't fly until past 1am the next day..
      Our company is definitely not using the useless Arik again! They have the worst services ever!!!

  27. Arik Air very incompetent and useless bunch

    Useless airline, very rude and indifferent customer service, cocaine dealer hostesses etc

  28. Question is,why do people still bother going to ARIK? That's one airline I do not bother going to their terminal when travelling locally.It's a completely frustrating exercise.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Now you see why people have problems with buy naija. Arik Air has no respect for Nigerians. It is not about foreign airlines being in service for more years. You have a model, just follow it. How can you not know how many people you have for a flight?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Arik is very fund of this nonsense. The worst part is they keep you at the terminal without so much as an apology. I don't blame them though, The competition in their industry isn't stiff. Plus Nigerians are very resilient!

  31. Linda promote on your blog to join to boycott arik. Their service is appalling.

  35. ARIK Charge very high prices, then they treat their customers anyhow they like. They act like a monopoly and have no respect for the passengers or the money they paid.
    6 hours delay is a very long delay and anyone would be fed up, even in other countries. I wasn't on the flight but I have experienced ARIK's brand of customer service before so I stopped flying ARIK. Taking customers for granted. Selling more tickets than seats. Makes me feel sick. Where is the "Change?"

  39. Flying Molue
    Flying Danfo Bus
    Flying Keke Napep
    Flying Okada.
    Only my country men and women rush to get on planes, especially those "bucket full of gari finishing, raised to steal" ones in Amsterdam and Frankfurt.
    Always disgracing themselves rushing to board planes in foreign lands while the hosts chuckle inside, watching Gorillas go at it.

  40. neva liked arik...There ar better affordable ones for many places..but it may have been the lowest for that route. but i'd rather not arik unless neccessity demands!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Arik is the worst airline in this country. That's how they cancelled my flight from jos airport yesterday after waiting for 9hours. If you no want dey like these dudes in future please use another airline..

    ReplyDelete
  42. This is totally nonsense, the government should do something about it.
    Arik must be fine haba.

  43. True that we boarded Arik flight for 6:30pm at midnight but these pictures are about Med View which had two sets of passengers and the later passengers wanted to board before the earlier passengers. I do have the pictures I took myself. All the airlines delayed on Thursday but my flight on Arik was delayed for about 6hours. The 5pm flight was boarded around past 10pm. Nigerian authorities should do something about this. I can imagine paying less than N20,000 for a flight from Lagos to Abuja and in less than 24 hours I paid N38,000 for the same route.
