FCCPC Expands Probe Into Alleged Exploitative Airfares on Nigerian Domestic Routes
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has expanded its investigation into domestic airline pricing after widespread public complaints about sharp and possibly coordinated airfare increases, especially on South-East and South-South routes ahead of the festive season. The probe, which covers multiple operators, aims to determine whether airlines violated the FCCPA 2018 through excessive, opaque, or anti-competitive pricing practices. The Commission clarified it does not control prices but is mandated to act against consumer exploitation. Despite an ongoing lawsuit from Air Peace seeking to halt the inquiry, FCCPC says its investigation will continue, with enforcement actions to follow if breaches are confirmed.
