Read with me a mail I received from one of us yesterday. Our lady is outraged because Arik Air failed to bring her brother home on time for Christmas despite purchasing his flight ticket two months ago for over N500,000.
Many Arik Air passengers were yesterday reportedly stranded at the JFK International Airport in New York following the inability of the airline to transport them back home to Nigeria.
According to our reader, her brother's Arik Air flight was supposed to leave New York on the 22nd but Arik moved it to 24th. Only for him to show up at the airport on the 24th being yesterday and was beyond shocked when the airline told him they still couldn't transport him. He was asked to return on Monday, 26th, meaning no Christmas for him with his family.
Read the mail below:
Hello Laila love, Compliments of the season. How are my boys? See Arik again o
So my bro inlaw bought ticket to leave USA on the 22nd. Arik cancelled, apologised and moved his flight forward to today. He didn't talk. He has been at the aiport since morning
and they are claiming they wil pick them by 5pm from USA. People paid to make sure they will arrive Nigeria for Christmas and you claim you will pick them by 5 so they will land in nigeria in the EVENING OF XMAS DAY. What is the use?
He said they are so many in the airport in JFK New York, that the plane definitely cannot carry all of them. So the people are stuck in JFK.
It is a disgrace. God have mercy. Is it by force for Arik to do what they cannot manage?
He was eventually told the flight is full till Monday. Imagine!
Checked for new flights for him but because it's too close they are all over N1m. So pathetic! After buying the ticket 2 months ago to come for Christmas. You postponed his flight from 22nd to 24th now 26th. Imagine!
He paid N525,146, some people will say cheap but is that a cheap ticket? I bought the ticket for him myself.
They put them in a hotel to compensate them. What does that mean? Imagine o.
