Arik Air is set to begin daily flights from Abuja to Gombe State, according to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) prepared for ratification, by the State Government and Airk Air. The Gombe Commissioner for Works, Hadi Shehu, revealed the interest of the administration for this, aside the usual few-times-per week flights that Arik Air operates to Gombe State. He said, “The ministries of finance, commerce and industries and justice are already reviewing the proposals we have received from the directives of the governor to see whether we can actualise some of the MoUs we want to enter with people who want to provide ground handling services.” “We are going into an arrangement with Arik Air, the only airline now operating in Gombe, to see that we sustain their operations on daily basis. They can bring their aircraft, the last flight from Abuja and first flight in the morning. An average Gombe resident can go to Abuja and do his business and come back the same day,” he concluded.
