The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has not led to an increase in airfares, the Federal Government said on Saturday.
It stressed that since there was no physical distancing onboard airplanes, airfares would witness little or no change in prices.
Kano, Port Harcourt and Owerri airports resumed operations on Saturday, joining Abuja and Lagos which had resumed on July 8, 2020.On airfares, he said, “There is no price increase in airfares because I know that someone travelled at about N30,000, while another person told me it was N25,000 to Lagos.
Sirika said the purpose of the inspection, which was done alongside members of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, was to ensure that the airports were opened in accordance to protocols established by PTF. On why it was not mandatory to observe physical distancing onboard flights, Sirika said, “Because of the nature of the airplane, the aircraft cabin is hygienic enough once you have your mask on.
