Air Peace, Nigeria’s flag carrier, says it will increase airfares on local routes from November 1.
According to an internal memo, the airline said it would increase fares on the route by 100 percent, TheCable reports
“Please be informed that effective 1st November 2024, Air
Peace would be adding a 100% increase to their fares across all local routes,”
the circular reads.
“Kindly reach out to your dedicated consultant for further
support.”
According to a source at the airline who preferred
anonymity, the memo was a leak that was sent to private partners.
“It was a leak from someone. It was shared to someone and
the person leaked it online. The issue is being treated internally,” the source
said.
The airline commenced its international flight on March 30,
from Lagos to Gatwick Airport in London.
However, the Nigerian government has consistently demanded
slots at the London Heathrow airport.
In a letter on August 1, Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation
and aerospace development, warned that if Air Peace is not allocated a space at
Heathrow airport, Nigeria will be forced to “reciprocate” by denying British
Airways and Virgin Atlantic slots at the Lagos and Abuja airports.
