“I was thinking that there is a remedy, now I know that it’s finished.”

In a related story, TheTalk.NG reported that airline operators had raised alarm on new fares as one-way tickets skyrocketed.

Nigerians desert local airlines

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that Nigerians had deserted local airlines as Air Peace, Max Air and others hiked their fares.

The average airfare for an hour’s flight from Abuja to Lagos has risen to between N150,000 and N200,000 for a one-way ticket, depending on the purchase time. The fares could be slightly cheaper if purchased a month in advance.

Findings showed that airlines flying local routes are barely full due to low passenger traffic, choosing to travel by road instead despite the risks involved.
