Easter: Domestic airline operators laud increase in passengers traffic

By Yunus Yusuf Lagos, April 5, 2021 Some domestic airlines operators have expressed satisfaction on the level of patronage by passengers travelling to various parts of the country during the Easter celebration. Some of the airlines who spoke in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Monday, said the airlines recorded above 90 per cent passenger traffic, during the period. The airline officials noted that flights from Lagos to other routes were fully booked before the Easter break, adding that there was a surge in traffic. They however, stated that ticket fares remained the same. The official acknowledged that patronage during the 2021 Easter celebration was far better than what was recorded in 2020, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic lockdown, that grounded the airspace.

Tough time for travellers over high air fares

Checks show that most flights have been fully booked on various routes like Lagos-Abuja; Lagos-Port Harcourt; Lagos-Enugu, Lagos-Kano, among others. For those who booked over the weekend, they succeeded in securing some seats after many tries even at an exorbitant price. From last week, it was gathered that prices of tickets have gone up due to the volume of online bookings ahead of the Easter festivity. For instance, as at last week, Lagos-Abuja flight which used to be less than N30,000 has gone up to between N54,000 and N60,000. The route is the busiest in the domestic travel market. Daily Trust reports that other hinterlands that are not as busy as Lagos-Abuja or Abuja-Kano are even more expensive.
