Nigerians react as airlines increase ticket fare

Don’t blame Them please, it’s entirely not their fault. Because, the more the tax, the more they have to keep adjusting. So if they don’t they’ll or might shutdown. What is business without profits?
@King_Alicho
Does Aviation fuel fall from the sky?
Asking for a friend.
@ApataArc
But Nigeria govt is watching them doing that when there is no increase in their fuel ⛽.

They realize it’s an opportunity and a relatively better option to intending travelers. Reality is that road travel during this Xmas period and beyond is far more expensive than traveling by air, depending on who your kidnapper is! If you doubt, wait until you are kidnapped first!

The masses are groaning over the land transportation costs while the bourgeoisie are groaning over air travel prices.
Las Las everybody go feel am

Airline is not for the poor but the poor follows the rich to board the plane because of the road – the road is dangerous.
@anyebepete
In other climes, airfares and prices of items are significantly reduced to induce patronage and increase sales volume and enhance earnings, but no, it CANNOT happen like that in Nigeria!!! Something must be wrong!
Air Peace, others begin adjusting ticket prices
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG reported that the holiday season sees a jump in airfares as many Nigerians prepare to travel for Christmas and New Year’s festivities.
In just six months, domestic airline fares have gone up by 218% as a result of increased demand for travel and high operating costs.
The high price of airfares has pushed many Nigerians to postpone their Christmas getaways while some are seeking cheaper alternatives R
