The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority said it has fined Arik
Air N6 million for delaying and not transporting passengers’ luggage from
London to Lagos from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December, 2016.
The NCAA also ordered the airline to pay each affected
passenger, the sum of $150 as compensation within 30 days of the issuance of
the letter.
In a letter with reference number
NCAA/DG/CSLA/RM/1-06/16/439 dated 22nd December, 2016, the agency said Arik
flouted its orders to freight all backlog of short-landed luggage to Lagos
within 48 hours on December 6.
"Similarly, the carrier declined to offer care and
compensation to the affected passengers which were unanimously agreed for $150.
In addition, the airline did not inform the passengers at the soonest
practicable time that their checked-in baggage would be off-loaded as required
by Part 19.7.2 of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs),2015"” the
NCAA said.
