Breaking News Green Africa Airways About To Relegate Airpeace by johnmartus(m): 12:29pm On May 26, 2021 |
This is an exciting and rewarding time for flight passengers in the Nigerian aviation sector, as airlines have begun to slash airfares from Lagos to Abuja, Port-Harcourt, Ilorin, and Owerri. In what appears to be a reaction to Nairametrics‘ report, which found that airfares to the cities listed above rose by 100%, some airlines have now slashed their fares to these destinations and this price slash is being championed by Green Africa, a new entrant in the sector. Here are the different airfare slashes that the airlines are offering their existing and potential passengers. Green Africa Airways Though the Nigerian start-up airline won’t begin its flight operations earlier than June 24, 2021, it has started selling tickets to passengers. Contrary to the projections of some experts, who had said that airlines would not reduce fares due to some operational challenges, Green Africa broke the jinx as it slashed its prices by over 50%. For instance, its airfares for Lagos and Abuja and vice-versa are between N16,500 and N23,000. The airline, which primarily focuses on six domestic destinations, including Abuja, Port Harcourt, Akure, Ilorin, Enugu and Owerri, charged N16,500 from Lagos to Port Harcourt, while others charged about N60,000 in April. Flights to Akure, Ondo and Ilorin, which used to be around N50,000 in April, were fixed at N16,500 respectively. These are the lowest fares in the industry when compared to current prices charged by other airlines operating in the country. Air Peace Air Peace Airline, which is the acclaimed biggest airline in the country, has also reduced its fares across some destinations like Ilorin, and Abuja, just to mention a few. For instance, the airline slashed the airfare from Lagos to Ilorin (flight operations to Ilorin are slated to commence in June 2021) from N52,500, which some airlines charged last month, to N32,700. Also, the fare from Lagos to Abuja has dropped from N60,000 (in April) to between N23,000 and N29,000. The spokesperson of the airline, Stanley Olisa, said that the airline is set to “kick-off daily Abuja-Ilorin-Abuja and Lagos-Ilorin-Lagos flights on June 17, 2021. The new route further exemplifies the airline’s unwavering determination to interconnect various cities across Nigeria while filling the gaps in Nigeria’s air travel connectivity. The flying public can start booking on our website and mobile app.” What you need to know about airfares in the last month In April, airfares across Nigeria increased by as much as 100%, as recent checks by Nairametrics confirmed. Ticket fares to cities like Port Harcourt, Ilorin, and northern states like Kebbi, Borno, Adamawa and Kano increased by as much as 100%. Business and student travellers who spoke to Nairametrics about their experiences expressed shock and resentment about the rising cost of airfare in Nigeria, especially as travelling by road continues to be risky due to the activities of bandits and kidnappers. |

johnmartus:Air peace is more grounded in the industry. I don’t even believe the naira metrics report because airpeace never reduced any ticket pricing. The aviation regime in Nigeria makes it difficult for any low cost carrier to operate a low cost model so let’s see how it goes. There are companies and individuals that fly only airpeace. They won’t change their stance just like that and mind you airpeace is even introducing more comfortable aircrafts to the market ( Boeing 737 max , Boeing 777 and ERJ 195). The south east (owerri , Enugu , asaba and soon anambra) is basically dominated by airpeace. Unserved routes like kaduna , akure, Ilorin also has their footprints . Politically too the airline works hand in hand wirh authorities as they generate the most income for aviation agencies among the local carriers. It took them 7 years to get here and it looks like they are not sleeping. In Nigerian agip their staff are asked to only fly arik & airpeace . There are many other companies that have such policies. There are a wide pool of travel agents partnering with them. You need more than cheaper tickets to muscle them out 1 Like |
