Stay Away From Green Africa Airline. Their Promos are illegal soft LOANS! by TEADRO1: 8:59pm On Feb 01, 2023
Green African is currently looking like a scam. They offer flight promotions and cheap flights from time to time.
This is the third cancellation in 4 months.
You book a month or more and feel relaxed you have your travel plan scheduled.
What do you get just 4 days (from 3 encounters an avg of 4 days) to the flight date? You'll get:

" Dear *** ***, Due to operational reasons, your flight 322 from LOS to PHC scheduled for 0* Feb 2023 03:05 PM is unable to operate as planned. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause you. Please contact us at gCare@greenafrica.com or 0700GREENAFRICA (0700-47336-237422) to reschedule or re-route your flights. Thanks for your understanding. gCare "

Now here is the joke. You call their service center and get a voice telling you to go - http://refunds.greenafrica.com/ . A dedicated site to enter a lengthy list of information about your canceled flight so you can get your money in 20 WORKING DAYS! That's not all, you are mandated by the call center that you need to call them back and update them on submitting your refund form cos the request can lay there on their server gathering internet dust.

Do the maths. 40 days holding your money thinking you have a booking flight and 20 days still holding your funds begging for a refund. That's a soft loan without interest. Ask around most of the flights were never prepared internally. most times you wait for 2 months.

They have borrowed so much from the banks. Now, we the innocent passengers are their current victims. Why do we take this scam and let airlines take advantage of the Nigerian-Airline regulatory policy's lax attitude towards standards?

Does anyone in the house have the same challenge here?

Not to worry, there are many more airlines. Check what flights are available at [url]flightscanner.com.ng[/url] as far as I know they check prices with all the airlines.

Today is April 10, 2023. I have not gotten my money.

GREEN AFRICA STOP SCAMMING PEOPLE!!!

GO TO THE BANKS TO GET LOANS.

STOP SENDING (VERY LOW PRICE) PROMO TO GET 'ACCUMULATED SOFT LOANS' FROM INNOCENT PASSENGERS!!!

Re: Stay Away From Green Africa Airline. Their Promos are illegal soft LOANS! by TEADRO1: 3:58pm On Apr 10, 2023
MORE TICKETS COMING...

Bought them on different occasions.
Same scamming method.

My colleagues complain the same.
Bombard our mailboxes with Promo offers, cancel the flight the next day, and be in a queue to get your money back.
They use the LOAN , your money to run their business interest-free.
21 working days have turned to 4 months minimum.
