The Ministry of Aviation has weighed in on the increase in the cost of flight tickets in the country.
Passengers have been lamenting about the recent increase in
flight tickets.
Dr James Odaudu, Director of Public Affairs, Ministry of
Aviation, told NAN that the ministry does not have the power to fix ticket
prices for any airline.
“The ministry does not have the power to fix ticket prices
for airlines. The aviation sector is a regulated one.
“If airlines feel they can increase their tickets, others
should take advantage of lowering their tickets prices.
He advised passengers lamenting about the fare to patronize
airlines with lower prices.
“Masses should learn to patronize the ones with lower
prices. Others will be forced to go with market forces.
“It is all about forces of demand and supply,” he added.
