Arik Air is a wholly-owned Nigerian airline with a commitment to the people of Nigeria to deliver new standards in aviation. Founded in 2002, it was the vision of Sir Arumemi-Ikhide, a leading and well-respected Nigerian businessman who understood that if business was to succeed, there needed to be efficiency and quality of service. He had spent many years travelling throughout Nigeria without the satisfaction of knowing that he could depend on the existing choice of air transport services available to him. He also recognised the importance of healthy market competition in achieving efficiency. A plan for change was soon set in motion.
Arik Air provide comfortable seating and a dedicated Premier cabin for the ultimate experience. Menus and drinks are carefully selected to reflect his commitment to quality. One of strengths is in-flight service and professionally-trained cabin crew, both in Premier and Economy class.
Check in
Arik Air check-in counters open in 2 hours 30 minutes before departure for domestic flights, and 4 hours before departure for international flights.
At check-in, please present your passport and ticket together with anything else you were asked at the time of booking to bring with you, such as your company ID card.
If you fail to complete check-in procedures by this time you may not be permitted to travel.
All passengers must check-in for their Arik Air flight prior to check-in closure which is 30 minutes (for Domestic Flights) and 75 minutes (for International Flights) before the scheduled departure time. Closure of check-in at all airports is to ensure our flights depart on time. We adhere to this policy strictly. Boarding Boarding begins between 30 to 60 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time, depending on the size and destination of the aircraft. Customers must be on board the aircraft at least 15 minutes prior to departure for domestic flights, and 30 minutes prior to departure on international flights. Failure to report to that gate at closure time may result in you missing your flight.
