When Arik Air, Nigeria’s leading airline, was granted its first ‘slot’ at London Heathrow and was planning to commence operations by Christmas 2008, it needed a working office for operations staff in Terminal 2 at very short notice.

Allitec were able to supply desking, seating and storage units for Arik, as well as arrange for the complete redesign and decoration of the offices in time for the first international scheduled flights to Lagos on 17 December 2008.

Conor Prendergast, Senior General Manager for Arik Air International, noted: “Arik’s philosophy and culture is to always work with the best partners to help us provide a world class service: this is why we appointed Allitec, a company with proven quality and a distinguished reputation in delivering office solutions.

Allitec were willing and able to step in and take away our problems of getting an office sorted out. This allowed us to concentrate on getting our planes flying. They did a great job and nothing was too much for them. As we expand our international routes further and require more furniture for our offices, Allitec will very much be our preferred partner.”

Arik Air International has just launched its latest intercontinental route Lagos to Johannesburg and with New York next on the list – the sky’s the limit!.
