Just check out Ilorin flight fare, fear go catch you. I believe if the fare is as affordable as a Lagos to Abuja flight, it will improve.

Every sector under this administration is going down the drain.

Everything in this country is done for the sake of political appeasement. That's why there's an airport in Katsina.

Build decent roads and a comprehensive rail network and you won't need airports every 100 km.

Buhari's government is one of the biggest scams of the 21st century. How this dull man managed to fool very enlightened Nigerians to vote him in 2015 is still a mystery.

Not only airports.

The whole zoo is not viable, it should be shutdown, broken into different fragments and auctioned on eBay for buyers.

The cost of flying to Ilorin on return ticket is approximately 100k. How many people can afford that?

Go to Royal Riders transport company and see how many people travel by road to Ilorin on a daily basis. You'll see that it is not for lack of passengers that the airport is not raking revenue but for affordability. Bring down the cost of the air fares and you'll get a lot of traffic.

Reference:
What have I been saying for two.decades. Nigeria is too poor to run an aviation industry.

Transportation is all about numbers and we simply donot have enough people within the bracket (the middle class) of those who travel by air in other nations.

That is why the average lifespan of Nigerian airlines from inception to bankruptcy is 15 years. The turnover in the industry is staggering.

That is why I view in absilute diaguat more and more states building airports, the latest being Anambra and Abia and wasting taxpayers funds in procuring commercial aircraft like in the sad case of Akwa Ibom.

What goverments at the state level should have been doing with these massive amounts invested in transportation is building high speed rail links. Rail transport has remained the most viable, most economical and the most profitable means of transport for tje past 200 hundred years everywhere in the world.

Wirh high speed rail you may not get to Lagos from Abuja in a 45 minute flight but it is possible in 3 to 4 hours, at a fraction of the ticket cost and with greater versitality in the number of stops and the the cargo handling capacity.

Already we have a model success in the Abuja/Kaduna rail line that has carried more passengers in the five years of operations than perhaps all the airlines in Nigeria have carried in the last decade.

Another advantage of rail travel is that it is very easy to create a class structure that sells tickets lower than road transport for the poor and better than the best first class air travel experience for the wealthy. It is well known that the rail travel business introduced sleeping berths and full restaurants decades before they were considered in the air.

Finally, if Nigeria had a proper structure of devolution of powers the Federal Goverment need not bear all the burden of building Nigeria's rail network. States can build these lines under license from border to border and generate revenue from the rolling stock passing through, the Federal Goverment being the referee in this game, the supervising agency.

Without a middle class destroyed by decades of military rule with the nod of the feudal forces holding Nigeria captive, the airline industry can never be viable.

3 major international airport isn't enough besides I personally recognise only 2 (Abuja and Lagos, PH is a last resort for any traveller and most routes are missing or still link up with Lagos or abuja for final departures).

Besides how did the guardian get these figures. Is EDo airport a federal property? Didn't know that.

FlordFlorez:
Why 20 airport for Christ sake. How many international tourist centers we got? What have we got that has potential to attract foreigners? Nothing! Its purely political. Even USA with 300+ million population and the world most visit country are not obsessed of building airports like this. We have a long way to go. I'm afriad Nigeria might not get better in this generation and the next atleast.

Niccoloimhotep:
impossible did you not read in the report where it says in quote:



From the quote above and @bolded, it can be easily deduced that after lagos and abuja, enugu comes third or fourth on the worst case scenario. Then owerri too was quoted to be bubbling. SE fared well in my opinion, infact it came second after the SW lagos airport if you put together the output effect of Owerri and Enugu combined.

Kinematics:



They are talking about viability you are here typing trash. Every business is run to make profit, as long as PH international airport remain profitable its aming the 3 viable FG airports the have in the country. The others are run at a loss.
