Are people making this amount of money in Nigeria or are they ready to fly half-empty planes? How much is Road transport from PH to Abuja, In a country where the average monthly income is 100k, a means of transportation is pegged at 50% of median income? I don't know who advises these businessmen but they seem to have lost touch with reality in their area of operation. Know your clients ability and make your changes based on that.

The large percentage of people using flights are mostly politicians, companies (fly their workers- it forms a large part of air traffic).
Most civil servants and average income earners or workers won’t/can’t use it

What i am saying in essence, is that, if they didn't reduce their rates, they would be swallowed by the like of Dana, Airpeace, Arik etc. Their planes are so small and inconvenient that apart from the cheap fare, there is virtually nothing that would attract customers to patronise them. My take.

They are still cheaper now on N38,000, people are going for them right now

If you hadn't been flying before, you go fear take off. Plane go be like carton in the air.

Avaition is a difficult business. With this base fare airlines like arik, ibom air and airpeace are better placed to benefit from this . United nigeria CEO has already signalled a partnership deal with airpeace coming up in the next few days. If that partnership is successful they'd dominate the eastern Nigeria route. United Nigeria is planning to acquire more aircrafts while airpeace has been receiving a new aircraft every three months since January 2021. Interesting times ahead

If you buy the ticket option with 20kg check-in luggage allowance on green africa you'd pay about 50,000. But after flying on arik's 737-700/800 or air peace A320 or E195 I will not pay 50k to fly on green africa or other airlines using older equipment. The airline operators should know their position of strength. Seating down on the table with ibom air and arik and airpeace to agree on a price fixing regime may be counter productive as it will favor the big players

DeLaRue:
Greenafrica follows a deliberate policy.
1. Keep ticket prices lower than the rest. Their prices can be up to 30% cheaper than Airpeace.
2. Fly at reduced speed = save money on fuel & therefore cost.
3. Use a rugged, cheaper plane with very good safety reputation.

I suspect they're gaining market share.

When I first started flying with them on a particular route, the planes were usually no more than 25% full. Most travellers still preferred Airpeace. Now they are carrying more passengers on that route than Airpeace.

Fact is, people are cost conscious. Most people on that route prefer to pay N20k to N22k on Greenafrica than N32 - N35k on Airpeace, even if Airpeace will arrive at the destination 25 mins faster.

Greenafrica is winning on that particular route.

I believe you are referring to akure route and airpeace is making money on that route because they also use a small aircraft (ERJ145) on that route and charge much higher prices per seat than green africa. Green africa ATR72-600 can take up to 70 paxs. Air peace ERJ145 takes 50 paxs but they only need about 30 paxs out of 50 to make a profit.

well, that makes a lot of sense.

Most of them will fold up in less than 2yrs..
How will you spend 100k to and fro Abuja from Lagos. If not for bad governance and bad roads, the distance is what one can drive.

I concur.

Air transportation isn’t for the poor! In the USA / Europe people who can’t afford air travels go by Greyhound Buses and Trains.

It’s all about comfort and comfort comes at a price!

Chief, I am talking about the ratio of income and expenditure. A 1-hour flight in the US is around $140. Nobody in the US makes $300 a month. the price is set based on the purchasing power of the population. So this is not about being poor, this is about corporate greed and the fact like someone pointed out before, government levies and double taxation. FYI, there is nothing comfortable flying economy in a rust bucket.

Good

We'll still use them. I would rather spend 100k to and fro Lagos to PH than 20k by road with lots of Fulani-induced risks.

They should increase it more. We voted for it. We will vote for another disaster in 2023.

Bad leadership is the reason most youths do fraud because their money will be gotten in Dollars and they'll convert it to our weak Naira and become millionaires overnight.

boss teach me how kdp works

You heard!!! Give urself an experience by flying with them and quit believing what people said. Make una stop this Rubbish abeg. How on Earth would a plane be like a tricycle on air

Nothing concern me. Na home get me. Any job to happen in other states can take place via working-from-home.
