Airline Operators in Nigeria (AON) on Saturday, announced an increase in the price of flight tickets to as much as N50,000 one-way for economy seats.
The decision to increase the price was taken at a joint meeting by the operators.
Giving reasons for the increase, the airline operators stated that the decision was taken following the high cost of jet A1 fuel, scarcity of foreign exchange, double-digit inflation, increase in ground handling charges and cost of buying and importing spare parts.
With this price review, economy class tickets from Lagos to Abuja which used to cost between N29,000 and N35,000 will now be sold for N50,000.
That class of tickets for Dana Air, United Nigeria, Azman Air, Air Peace, and Max Air are precisely N50,000 and haven uploaded as such on their websites.
Ibom Air costs N53,00, while Aero Contractors, which used to cost N26,000, now costs N48,365, and Arik Air costs N48,500.
Green Africa, which used to sell for N20,000, is now selling for N39, 000, excluding luggage costs.
