Robert Brunner, Executive VP Arik Air, said of the milestones:
"It's been an incredible year, not just for our New York-Lagos operation, but for Arik Air as a whole. To have carried our six millionth passenger in just over four years is a remarkable achievement; two million alone this year is a very impressive indication of the accelerated growth that we are experiencing as an airline. Since we started flying to JFK one year ago, we have come a long way in recognition as a safe and secure airline with the obtainment of Cat 1 from the FAA. It will be encouraging to see Arik Air increase its presence in this market and expand on these remarkable achievements."
