By Chuks Ekpeneru

Arik Air on Friday sacked 300 members of staff of their appointments. The airline citied dwindling finances due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the decision.

In a statement on Friday, the airline’s management said it was going to work with the aviation unions to provide a redundancy package for the affected workers.

The press statement was titled, “Arik Air management declares 300 staff redundant”.

The statement read in part, “Arising from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the constrained ability of the airline to complete heavy maintenance activities and return its planes to operations, stunted revenues against increasing operational costs, the management of Arik Air (In Receivership) has declared 300 staff members redundant to its current level of operations.

“The leadership of the impacted unions has been contacted to negotiate a redundancy package for the affected staff.”
