It's greed of the black man... The airline operators won't disclose the exact amount of money they make with just one trip carrying hundreds of passangers.. not to talk of the multiple trips per day and amount they make on weekly and monthly basis.
They have formed cabals in the aviation industry to be milking Nigerians just like other sectors.

One bus will carry 18 - 22 people max at 35k for 10 - 14 hours journey but plane will lift as much as 400+ passangers at once for airbus for a 1hr 15mins trip.
They are telling us rubbish just to jistify their own 419 activities.

It's obviously not greed oga if you could do it cheaper why now do it

Definitely not greed

It's obviously system bottleneck most likely

.

N250k is actually very cheap

Festus go finally kill the aviation industry. Of all people na Keyamu Dem give aviation

For folks like me who haven't boarded a plane before because I can't afford it, this increment will only make the hope of boarding on a plane draw longer....

If i never get money to take it when it was 50k, shey na when dem increase am to 250k, na hin I go get the money to take flight within Nigeria

Nigerians just always love to extort Nigerians

😅😅😄😁 Abi na, brother

Not surprised

GetSenseNow:

Poor man supporting same people whose useless policies add to his poverty.
What a paradox

Lo

So who should the poor have supported that will take away his poverty?

Why is it that a currency ($) that Nigeria doesn't own nor print keeps having such an insane influence on our local economy??

....... ordered from above -from the ruler of this world.

Last last na everybody go chop breakfast.

dem go carry 👻 .

Calabar1stSon:
And in your mind you think those of us glamouring for good governance are poor.

You're nothing yet but you keep supporting the wrong people to lord over you. You better grow up mister so you'd one day make enough to board airplanes too.

So who is the right person I shud have supported?

Pls inform me

seborrhic:

Honestly,the distortion and paradox is puzzling.
Far higher paid workers,higher taxes,more regular and therefore costlier maintenance,yet their fares are still cheaper than that of Nigeria.
It just doesn't add up and doesn't seem to make sense.

This is Nigeria where things work in reverse. This is one of the reasons why we tell some so called "economy experts" to keep their economy theories to themselves. These theories will only survive in the advanced countries because corruption is tamed seriously unlike Nigeria where corruption is the order of the day. You can't even work into the banks to demand for dollar they will tell you it's not available because the dollars in their custody had be sold secretly out to their special customers for illegal greedy profits. Is that the country you expected that things that work in advanced countries should work?



And for those shouting remove fuel subsidy because they will use the proceeds to fix the country your eyes will soon clear to the reality of power of corruption.

What sort of bottlenecks could be responsible?.. Police, VIO extorting their pilots mid-air or which?.

Let's call a spade a spade.. the airline operators are out to swindle Nigerians. People with their mentality can't go far or break grouds in the international scene where there are set regulations with strict monitoring and enforcement on compliance.

that's because we buy everything using dollars....

Because your local economy relies too heavily on external input.

Hmmmmmm

Newdawn30:
The middle class or average families are the ones feeling this harsh economic policies . I think what this present govt is doing is devilish

they are purposely being evil believe me.. something I bought last year at the rate of 70k tro and fro

ShortBiscuit:

Because we import a whole lots of things with that dollars

Our export are very limited compare to import

Though I really wish the world can find alternative to dollars because only US seems to benefit from this dollarization of planet Earth

But our primary problem is little productive which leads to low export

Mcreloaded:

Because we import everything we consume and you can't buy things from another country in naira.
Learnt thus in primary 1

That's why we need to my move from a consuming economic that's virtually manufactures nothing to a producing economy, we can't be selling crude oil and spend more money to import the finished product. Even a 100l student know what to do. Na corruption dey kill us. Every leader is milking the country dry

How much is flight from London to France
Keep exploiting Nigerians

If that's the case, then flying will only be meant for the rich.

Mostly because we are a consuming Nation.

Almost all high level transactions both from private and government agencies are done in dollars including corruption.
And we keep electing and Appointing unqualified entities simply because they are from the same tribe or religion.....

Good luck then

First your country’s huge debt is not in your local currency and your exporters demand for dollar as a means of exchange. Do you understand it now?

mrvitalis:
I honestly don't get why u can get flight from London to Paris for under £50 ... There are flights under £20

Their pilots earn more, their workers generally earn more than Nigerian aviation workers by a factor of over 7

Aviation fuel is way cheaper in Nigeria

So why exactly is flight far more expensive in Nigeria

I honestly can't get it honestly

The reason is that the UK government subsidizes the aviation industry with more than £10 billion (10 trillion naira) every year.
The same goes for most of the advanced countries where people have to travel long distances to connect to various states or provinces.

Nigerian government cannot afford to pay that money. That's why I keep telling people to erase the impression that Nigeria is rich. With or without corruption, this country is flat broke. We need smart thinkers as leaders to start harnessing our untapped potential.

Buy a fairly used(rebate) ticket so you can visit ASO Villa for an active experience...
BTW when will this present bat-led government start creating feasible options for a sustainable economy...so far it has been just tax plus increment for more largesse.

Wittyness

Acidosis:
Frankly, airline is relatively cheap. No justification for charging less than 60k for a 1 hour trip while God is Good Motors charge around 30k for a journey of over 10 hours with high risk (robbery, kidnapping). In fact, airline only increased their fees recently. It's always been a 10-15k difference between airline and road trips (totally not worth it). Airline operators have been fair.

Lagos to Abuja on God is Good Motors is 35k
Dana is charging less than 50k for a flight
Valuejet is less than 60k
