Air Peace Chairman Defends Christmas Airfares, Says Nigerian Airlines Unfairly Demonised Over Southeast Flight Costs
The Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, has rejected claims that Nigerian airlines exploited passengers with high airfares during the Christmas season, insisting that entry fares still start from ₦150,000. Speaking amid public outrage and regulatory scrutiny, Onyema said airlines are being unfairly accused of price fixing, especially on Southeast routes where return flights are often nearly empty. He explained that high operational costs, wet-lease charges, taxes, and demand-driven pricing account for fare differences, stressing that most of the ticket revenue does not go directly to airlines. Onyema urged government agencies and the public to stop scapegoating airlines, describing the criticism as unfair and damaging to the aviation sector.
