Many of These aviation people are CRIMINALS.
How much is even flight to London?

Many things are just overpriced in this country, especially these guys and in real estate.
Why are people criticising the airline?

Someone wants to travel the next day, and you expect the ticket will be cheap?

Guys check the date in question.
Even in developed countries, closer dates’ tickets or same day tickets are usually expensive.
This same 13th she’s looking at, will have passengers who paid half of the price

Let us be rational in this case

It's your right to be dumb, but don't be proud about it.

Unbridled greed fuelled by poor regulation and corruption. Money that can be used for something tangible is wasted on simple transportation. Pity.

It's called demand and supply; when the demand for a service or goods goes up without a corresponding increase in its supply, the price of that service or goods will therfore increase.
This is asinine justification and you know it.
The demand during Xmas period is always there. It's nothing new.
There's no increase in jet fuel price at the moment nor any significant increase in customers.
This phenomenon also applies to the road transportation. There's no petrol price increase, no scarcity.. nothing yet the prices are jacked up over 200%.
This is typical example of Nigerians doing each other

Many people are boarding flights due to kidnapping on our highways but these flight owners are trying to create class by deliberately raising flights fare. Masses are regarded as miscreants having unchecked access to airports.

Stop saying things like this.
If we all talk like this then we simply play into the hands of industry manipulators.

Look at all the fake milk in Nigeria. To get something close to real milk is almost 5k for 380gram and someone like you will come up to say MILK NO BE BY FORCE.
Abeg, which one is the real milk now?

Summary:
A Nigerian lady criticized airlines for charging N500,000 for a flight under one hour, calling it wickedness and exploitation. She urged the Minister of Aviation, the Senate, and the Federal Government to regulate fares, stressing that high prices push people back onto unsafe roads. As a flight attendant, she vowed not to stay silent and urged Nigerians to tag relevant authorities to stop the exploitation.
Thanks for the summary, the lady has tried to speak out, but she should not waste her time to call the aviation minister, this is Taxation government, and Kidnapping Republic, high price of Air ticket is a means of forcing people to be traveling by roads so, they would be kidnapped ransome paid sometimes killed and body organs harvested , for more money making and looting continues

Honestly it's pure inhumanity.

There is no justification for the hike in air fare every December/Xmas. It's an unacceptable.


Nigerians should not accept this
Igbos not Nigerians stop being mischievous

No comment.

But elections do have consequences.
If you don't own a government then your fate is bound to be lamentation.

Just as you say it doesn't matter who gets into office so this also doesn't matter.
Move on madam.

Exactly.
If.you own the government they will ensure your welfare, they will serve you. But when they see you don't matter, they don't care. After all you are paying their bills, you are buying tickets for them to travel at any cost.

Is there a regulatory agency for airlines and air transport?
What are they saying.
The Min of Aviation was summoned to the House days ago on this matter. Has he gone....

Instead of blaming Tinubu she's blaming airlines. She doesn't know they are business owners who are out to maximize profits always? Everyone knows that's the trend every December: onion seller increases price, chicken seller increases price, luxurious bases increase price, Keke increases price. If you fit enter flight, use 18-seater bus.
"Everyone knows that.. blah blah" So because everyone knows, we should all keep accepting it?..

By some comments, one can imagine what their report cards looked like in school.

The Aviation industry players ran out of excuses the moment exchange rate stabilized. Now, their minions are shouting demand and supply.

Truth is, Nigerians are generally exploitative. From the Danfo driver that increases fares abnormally the moment a drop of rain lands on the floor to the Barber who hikes his fare for a 5 minute GORIMAPA hair style, everybody na d same.

Them swear for una suffering and smiling, you have been in bandage for years you don't even know when you are being exploited.
Before you blame cost of maintenance or dollar rate. A flight from madrid to milan is around 50$.
