Air fares have started coming down after the Yuletide celebration as passenger traffic has dropped at the airports.
THISDAY checks revealed that there has been reduction in passenger traffic on many of the routes, but the Abuja-Lagos; Lagos-Abuja and Abuja-Owerri; Owerri-Lagos routes still record high traffic, even.
However, the cost of economy class has come down to N27, 000 from the over N60, 000 sold during the Yuletide.
Spokesman of Arik Air, Adebanji Ola, told THISDAY that airfares have marginally come down, but still relatively high compared to this time the previous years. He attributed this to the weakening exchange rate against the dollars.
