A Traveller’s Context

Onyi Anosike, an Abuja-based businesswoman told Nairametrics that flight ticket prices are expensive these days compared to the past few years. She said she recently scheduled a one-way Economy flight ticket on a Friday in this month of May to Enugu from Abuja and paid over N90,000.

According to her, the prices will keep increasing because of some factors like taxes, prices of aviation fuel as well as the obstacles to freely operating a business in Nigeria which will result in the transfer of burden costs to final consumers.

Recall that a year ago, Nairametrics reported that domestic airlines’ travel costs were on the rise as a result of rising operational costs occasioned by aviation fuel price hikes, and foreign exchange shortages. These challenges seem not to have been tackled with flight ticket charges almost at N100,000 in May 2023.
