Yuletide: Aero Contractors Slash Local Flight Ticket

The management of the Airline Aero Contractors has slashed its flight ticket to N80,000 for local flights across its routes during the festive season to alleviate the burden on Nigerians especially with the insecurity bedevilling the country.

This was announced by the airline’s Managing Director, Ado Sanusi, on Tuesday during a press briefing, stating that this initiative, which will run through January 2024, reflects the company’s commitment to giving back to its customers during the holidays.

He said, “We understand the economic hardships Nigerians are facing, especially with high ticket prices, and we know the holiday season is approaching.

“In the spirit of Christmas, Aero Contractors has introduced what we call pocket-friendly Christmas prices. These fares, starting at N80,000, will apply to all our destinations, allowing Nigerians to travel without excessive costs.”

As of Tuesday afternoon, a Lagos-to-Abuja economy ticket on Aero Contractors was priced at N99,643, while business class tickets were sold for N189,167.

Sanusi explained that the airline designed this initiative to ensure families can reunite during the holidays without straining their finances. 

“This is a way for us, as an organization with a long history of serving Nigerians, to give back to our loyal customers. We want to make it possible for families to meet their loved ones during this festive season without worrying about exorbitant travel costs,” he added.

Despite the announcement, the Airline’s website is yet to effect the announcement.

As of Tuesday, Airlines charge between N120-N200,000 for local flights.
