The airline’s incumbent management led by Capt. Roy Ilegbodu as Chief Executive Officer assumed office in February of 2017 after the intervention of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) in the airline, which prevented the imminent death of the Arik Air.

Speaking with journalists when he led members of the committee on a surprise visit to Arik after a guided tour of the airline in Lagos, Hon Onyereri stated that from what the team saw on the ground, Nigerians stands reassured of the safety of Arik and it’s survival because of Capt. Ilegbodu and his team have positioned the airline on the path to profitability, which he said will propel Arik to reclaim its prime spot in the aviation sub-sector of the Nigerian economy.

He added, “To the extent of safety, the amount of spares parts in Arik Airline’s store is huge, we are completely impressed. They have brand new tyres, spare engines and that is comforting enough.”

Reacting to the rumour that there are chances of Arik Air being named the national carrier, the chairman said that was beyond the committee for now stating that there were so many things to be considered before such a development could happen. He also management style of Capt. Ilegbodu and his team, which encourages transparency, accountability and strict adherence to global aviation best practices.

It would be recalled that the committee earlier in February promised Nigerians that they will soon pay a visit to Arik and Aero airlines for what they described as on the spot assessment of recent positive developments at the two airlines since they were taking over by Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) when he said, “We owe it a duty to Nigerians to visit some of the critical institutions AMCON was mandated to take over in the interest of the nation.”
