Arik Air, Other Domestic Carriers Cancel Flights over Aviation Fuel Shortage

Operations of domestic flights were on Tuesday, March 1 affected by limited supply of aviation fuel, otherwise known as Jet A -1, forcing some carriers, including Arik Air , to delay some flights and cancel others.

According the spokesman of Arik Air , Ola Adebanji, the limited supply has lingered for some days.

”The limited supply of JET A1 (aviation fuel) across the country in the last few days has greatly hampered our flight operations.

He said: “With over 100 flights daily, this limited supply of aviation fuel has resulted, regrettably, into flight delays and sometimes outright cancellations.
