Payment can then be made (1) via Internet Banking website, or (2) by visiting any Nigerian Bank Branch, or (3) by making payment on Quick Teller enabled ATMs, or (4) via www.quickteller.com, or (5) at any Arik Air Ticketing Office. Once payment is received an electronic ticket will be issued.

Arik Air's Managing Director/Executive Vice President, Mr. Chris Ndulue said of the new process: "We believe this Book-on-Hold option offers greater flexibility and control, especially for guests on the move. This is part of Arik Air's strategy of providing more convenient services to our esteem guests." This product is available only for guests paying in the Nigerian Market.
