Arik Air, Nigeria’s leading carrier, will be among the key exhibitors at the inaugural Nigeria International Airshow scheduled to take place in Abuja from 2nd to 4th December 2025.
The Nigeria International Airshow, an initiative of the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, is designed to position aviation as a major catalyst for economic growth across Africa.
According to a media statement by Arik, signed by Adebanji Ola, Manager, Public Relations & Communications, “the event will bring together commercial and business aviation operators, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), regional regulators, defence and aerospace bodies, government institutions, and high-net-worth industry stakeholders.
The statement promised that Arik Air’s participation will provide it a strategic platform to reinforce its market position, showcase its brand evolution, and re-engage the aviation community.

It added that its participation will also allow the airline to reconnect with key stakeholders, including local and international partners, policy leaders, and industry influencers within the global aviation ecosystem.
Speaking on the development, Arik Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Captain Roy Ilegbodu, expressed optimism about the significance of the maiden edition of the national airshow.
He enthused, “Arik Air’s participation in the airshow aligns with our mission to become a dominant air-services brand, globally admired for world-class operating, safety, and ultrahigh service delivery standards, while continuing to promote Nigeria’s image at home and abroad,” he said.

Ilegbodu further emphasised the airline’s commitment to supporting national aspirations and institutional initiatives saying, “We are proud to associate with and support the efforts of the Federal Government in building a solid foundation for the growth of Nigeria’s aviation industry.”
The statement said thus, “Arik Air looks forward to contributing to the success of this landmark event and strengthening its role in shaping the next phase of aviation development in Nigeria and the wider African region.
