Arik Air, Nigeria’s major domestic airline whose fleet was grounded last week by the federal government over a legal dispute has been cleared to resume operations, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) disclosed on Thursday.
This followed the resolution of the legal impasse by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo.
Keyamo had directed the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) to ground three aircraft belonging to the airline following a Supreme Court judgement in favour of Atlas Petroleum Company where the three aircraft were attached as judgment debt.
Aviation unions had also called for the intervention of President Bola Tinubu over the issue.
