Aero Contractors, Nigeria’s oldest airline, has announced a special fare of N80,000 for local flights during the festive season. This price applies to all routes operated by the airline.
Ado Sanusi, the managing director, stated that this initiative aims to support Nigerians during the Christmas season and will run until January next year.
The gesture is part of Aero’s effort to give back to the community and make travel more affordable for passengers across Nigeria
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”.
