This is the reason why I don't fly locally.
If I must travel locally, then I have to go by road.
The experiences I had with local flights are not funny at all.

what are you even saying? In Q1 2022, road acciedent is about 3345. can you compare it with local flight? if my flight money nor correct, i am not travelling. Road is worse. you can read https://guardian.ng/news/nigeria/road-accidents-decline-by-1-82-in-q1-2022-nbs/ for more info.

This news no complete o, would what happened to the aircraft and it burning engine?
Was the tire put out by the fire service men or what happened after it landed?

Anyway, I will advise people to stay away that airline for now cos Nigerians like safety consciousness. Don't be surprised without fixing the issue properly they will still fly the plane after some days!!

That's your choice. If I need to travel abroad, I'll take a flight, but locally? No!
I'm in my 30s. The only times my life feel so threatened happened on board local flights.
Roads are bad, but if you take necessary precautions while driving, with God on your side, you'll arrive safely. I travel a lot until recently and I haven't as much as have a blow out, so until I'm convinced or I see an Airline that's dependable, it's road for now.

Hmm. Thank God.
Hope this high aviation price issue is not making the airlines cut corners. Fuel is chopping all their profits oh.
I hear it is like 750/L now.
Meanwhile, aviation fuel is not like diesel you can mix black oil to subsidize the cost. Put bad fuel inside plane and engine go knock at 30,000 feet.

All this yeye old aircraft

If this is not dreamliner and A320 and A350 am not flying local airlines in Nigeria

My experience when I flew Pegasus airlines thought me a lesson

How can you use a dreamliner for short trips? Its not economical for interstate flights, turbo props or even smaller planes are better.

Our Aviation people should try what works for them in the local economy, other countries using big planes dont experience the challenges our operators are currently facing sourcing for aviation fuel.

Many airlines are going out of business due to high overheads caused by using the wrong type of aircraft.

Overland flight from Abuja to Ilorin is always with noisy aircraft, the same goes to Ibadan and Lagos.

They operate one rickety plane in the above routes .
