The management of Arik Air has relieved 300 staff of their appointment amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The announcement was contained in a statement on Friday titled, “Arik Air management declares 300 staff redundant” by the airline’s spokesman, Adebanji Ola.

“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 statement partly read.

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

The airline however noted that the decisions to let go of staff are naturally a difficult one, it wished the impacted staff well in their future endeavours.
