West African airline Arik Air is expanding its network to include the Middle East, and will launch the first direct flight between Dubai and Nigerian capital Abuja on July 28th, using an A330-200. Arik Air CEO Michael Arumemi-Ikhide, said: “As the Nigerian population in the UAE continues to increase, the need to connect the city of Dubai to Lagos Abuja was imperative. There is a large community of Nigerian nationals in the UAE and the establishment of flights to Abuja and Lagos will allow them to travel to their home country directly without any delay.”
