According to a recent report Nigeria has the third-highest air ticket taxes and charges in Africa. This means that travelers in Nigeria pay more for air travel compared to other African countries. The report also states that these high taxes and charges are a major factor contributing to the high cost of air travel in the country. This could potentially discourage tourists and business travelers from choosing Nigeria as a destination which could have a negative impact on the economy. The government and aviation industry stakeholders should work together to find a solution to reduce these taxes and charges and make air travel more affordable for Nigerians.

    Flying here in Nigeria now is very expensive. I mean a one way ticket now could cost around two fifty thousand naira (250k) and even more depending on the airline. How many Nigerians can afford that?
  • 2) With all the added fees, Are these charges justified or just making travel harder for everyday Nigerians?
