The Chairman of Nigerian airline, AirPeace, compared to the rest of the world, domestic flights in Nigeria are the cheapest.
Speaking on Arise TV this morning, Onyema said
‘’Nigerians are flying the cheapest fares in the world domestically, the cheapest. I will prove it to you. Not this season(yuletide), generally. Nigerians are paying the cheapest.
A one-hour flight costs over $400 abroad, but in Nigeria, we still have tickets for N125,000, which is less than $60. This is why the mortality rate of airlines in Nigeria is very high; over 80 airlines have come and gone.”
He also mentioned that the increase in ticket fares is largely due to operational and maintenance challenges.
Nigerians have in recent times lamented about the spike in airfares domestically.
