Fed Govt, airlines in talks over fare

THE Federal Government  is in talks with airline operators and other stakeholders in the aviation industry to ensure that prices in air ticket do not skyrocket when flights commence.

The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika made this known following indications that air ticket might not be affordable for passengers when airport re-opens.

He explained that the prices might be different from what passengers were used to, he, however, added that the prices will be affordable.

Speaking on Monday during the briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Sirika said: “Skyrocketing of flight ticket may not necessarily be the case because as I speak with you, day in day out, we have been meeting with stakeholders in the industry to find out how best to open up the industry in such a way that it does not bring hardship to the airline industry in general because definitely physical distancing will come into effect in the airport itself.

“The happenings around airports certainly is putting people together and getting them to socially interact and do businesses and to create huge economic activity. So, we are coming up with measures to cushion the effect.’’

Virgin Atlantic Airways said yesterday it would resume flights on the Lagos/ London route effective August 24.

According to the airline’s Manager, Marketing and Communications – Nigeria, Promise Ukandu, the new date will provide connections to a range of destinations in the United States.
