Aero Contractors, Nigeria’s oldest aviation company, says
travellers will pay a minimum of N80,000 for local flights this festive season.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Ado Sanusi, the
airline’s managing director, said the ticket price would apply to all Aero’s
routes.
Sanusi said through the gesture, billed to end in January
next year, the company aims to give back to Nigerians and support them the
during the Christmas season.
As at 1:40 pm on Tuesday, Aero’s economy ticket to Abuja
from Lagos was N99,643, while business class ticket stood at N189, 167.
“We have understood the pains Nigerians have been going
through because of the economic hardship, the high prices of tickets, and the
holiday season is nearby,” he said.
“So, Aero contractors has decided to announce a Christmas
initiative, we call them, pocket-friendly Christmas prices. These prices are
designed to allow Nigerians to travel to all our destinations without paying
too much.
“And this is in the spirit of giving, which is the spirit of
Christmas. We believe that as a company, this is just a very old history of
understanding its customers. We believe it’s time for us to give back to our
customers.
“Our prices will start from 80,000 to all of our
destinations, and we intend to make it affordable to flying public. And this is
to allow the flying public/families to meet their loved ones during this
Christmas season.”
Sanusi said the aviation firm has studied the economic
situation of the country, assuring that Aero will still be profitable with the
price cut.
He also said the three aircraft in the company’s fleet would
be sufficient for all its operations, stressing that Aero intends to “continue
to be modestly reliable”.
The managing director urged other airlines in the country to
also “give back to the customers”.
