Following the take-over of the management of Arik Air by the Federal Government, the Senate has summoned the management of Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON.

This came as the airline’s new management announced suspension of flights to London and South Africa to focus on domestic and West African operations.

AMCON spokesman Jude Nwauzor, had said: “AMCON has taken over the management of Arik because the whole place is in a mess.

“We have appointed a new management to stabilise the airline and prevent it from going down.”

Meanwhile, Arik Air yesterday said it was suspending international flight operations to London and South Africa to focus on domestic and West African routes.

This decision, according to the new management, will enable the airline engage and discuss with creditors who have become restive since the intervention of AMCON.
