Arik Air has intensified its fight against drugs, crimes, fraud and other criminal offences that could tarnish the image of the company in particular and Nigeria as a whole. To ensure that the fight against crime is vigorously pursued, the airline's Aviation Security department has been strengthened with the procurement of world class hi-tech security equipment that will facilitate the detection of all manner of drugs and explosives.

 TTA Mozambique confirmed that its air services between Maputo and Johannesburg which commenced on 14 February remained suspended after the Mozambican Aeronautical Authority (IACM) rescinded its operating certificate.

Two of the aircraft are BAe 146-200s with the remaining aircraft being the bigger Series 300. The aircraft are scheduled to be delivered by mid-July. These five aircraft are additional to two other BAe 146-200s that are currently operated by the company for customers in Gabon and other African countries. The company also presently operates smaller turboprop aircraft on behalf of additional customers in Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia.
