Commenting on the award, Arik Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Captain Roy Ilegbodu said: “We are excited by the award of the Best Air Crew of The Year 2017 and this is a further testimony to the great things that have been happening in the airline since the takeover by Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) in February 2017.
“We are constantly training and re-training our crew members both within and outside the country. They have all imbibed the new Arik spirit which emphasizes professionalism and team friendliness. The result is what we are witnessing”.
