Nigerian airlines suspend flights over soaring fuel prices - Nigerian airlines are to suspend all flights from Monday over rising jet fuel prices, an umbrella organisation of operators said on Saturday.
The cost of fuel has soared worldwide since Russia invaded its neighbour Ukraine in February and the West responded by slapping sanctions on Moscow.
The group said it would now cost a customer 120 000 naira for a one-hour flight, a sum unaffordable for Nigerians “already experiencing a lot of difficulties”. The Nigerian consumer protection agency also implored “domestic airlines to consider the effect of the proposed shutdown on passengers and the magnitude of difficulties and hardship associated with such an action”.
