Passengers planning to travel by air from Wednesday, July 8, when
domestic flights resume after four months of lockdown caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic, should be prepared to pay almost double of their
old fares.
Virtually all airlines have increased their fares in a bid to abide by
the social distancing protocol for all air travelers.
The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, recently announced that
domestic flights would resume on July 8 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport, Abuja and Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.
The Kano, Port Harcourt, Owerri and Maiduguri airports would reopen on
July 11, while other airports across the country will join on July 15.
All the eight operating airlines, yesterday, expressed readiness to
hit the airspace from next week, though not all were deemed ready by
the Nigeria Civic Aviation Authority.
