ABUJA (Sundiata Post) – Nigerians have raised concern over skyrocketing prices of airfares despite assurances by the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, to address the matter.
Although the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has set up a committee to look into price hikes by foreign airlines, nothing has been done to regulate the prices of domestic flights.
Currently, a one-way flight from Lagos to Abuja on economy class costs between N92,000 and N113,000; business class costs between N168,000 and N253,000. Round trip for economy class cost between N212,000 and N215,000; while business class costs between N452,000 and N455,000
