Aero Increases Flights To PH, Abuja

Aero Airlines has increased its flight frequency on the Lagos-Abuja-Lagos and Lagos-Port Harcourt-Lagos routes to eight and five respectively.

The service begun on October 1, according to the airlines Head of Commercial, Rob Prophet.

Prophet said the decision was taken in the interest and comfort of the airline’s loyal customers and to give them more flexibility in planning their business and leisure trips.

“We are offering our passengers excellent customer services, more choices and connections across our domestic routes”, he stated.

Aero has grown to be one of the most reliable and reputable carriers in Africa, operating over 50 flights daily and covering more than 15 destinations.

Meanwhile, government have been urged to take a serious look at their aviation security regimes and work cooperatively to develop a global standardised approach.

Sydney Airport corporate chairman and CEO, Max Moore-Hilton, chairman of the ACI World Governing Board told delegates at the Airports Council International North America Conference and Exhibition in Pittsburgh that while “there is no doubt that we have a threat. I have no doubt in my mind that the present security system is unsustainable.

 Aviation security standards in the EU, Canada and the US are among the highest in the world, ACI Europe President AD Rutten said and called for the EU and US to further step up their cooperation.

Sacramento County Airport System Director, Hardy Acree, the current chairman of ACI-NA said the attempted Christmas Day hounding of a Northwest Airline Azzo “validates that aviation remains the top target terrorists”.
