A lot of passengers travelling out of Lagos where left
stranded today at the two domestic Lagos airports as
flight ticket fees where drastically increased. The air
ticket for an hour flight which was between N18,000
to N30,000, from N30,000 to N43, 000, depending
on the carrier.
Another fare on the Lagos-Enugu route, which was
less than 45 minutes, was N35, 000 as against the
usual fee of N20,000, while Lagos-Abuja route
attracted an average ticket price of N40, 000 against
its usual N24, 000.
Passengers where however heard murmuring
saying, Christmas is a time to share, and not a time
for airline operators to start exploiting money from
innocent passengers. So many where left stranded
as they could not make use of cash machines and
had only the exact planned ticket fees with them.
