Owing to the aftermath effects of COVID-19 on the air transport industry, ARIK air has yesterday laid off 300 of its workers
According to the airline Manager Public Relations and Communications, Adebanji Ola, it took the decision on account of the constrained ability of the airline to complete heavy maintenance activities and return its planes to operations, stunted revenues against increasing operational costs on its current level of operations.
Ola said the airline management has however engaged the leadership of the impacted unions to negotiate a redundancy package for the affected staff.
In his words: “It is important to note that over 50 per cent of Arik Air’s workforce of over 1,600 staff have been on furlough in the past six months on a base allowance.
“Decisions to let go of staff is naturally a difficult decision. Arik Air wishes the impacted staff well in their future endeavors.”
