Air Nigeria Crashes Fares To N6,500

Air Nigeria has crashed fares to as low as N6,500 on all its domestic routes, the airline said yesterday.

Passengers, however, will have to book in advance, Mr. Samuel Ogbogoro, a media officer at Air Nigeria said in a statement.

“Air Nigeria has now introduced fares starting at N6,500 for two-months advance booking across its domestic routes, N8,500 as well as N10,500 for one month and 14-days advance bookings respectively while passengers also have the option of N15,500 fare for seven days advance booking,” he said.

In addition, the airline said, passengers who do not book in advance also have the possibility of enjoying flexible and competitive fares on the day of their trip. It did not explain that possibility.

“The introduction of the low fares option is part of Air Nigeria’s objective of making air transportation affordable to its customers,” the airline said.

From its operational base at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria, Air Nigeria currently operates to Benin City, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Sokoto and Enugu.

The airline also flies to Brazzaville, Accra, Douala, Dakar, Monrovia, Cotonou, Banjul, Libreville and Abidjan.
