The operators, under the aegis of Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), said the perennial scarcity had returned and most likely would disrupt operations as Christmas approaches.

Report says another round of airfare hikes was looming this festive season, alongside a high probability of flight delays and cancellations nationwide.

It is also noted that the harmattan haze expected to disrupt operations, the high cost of operations, especially aviation fuel crossing the N800/litre mark, has raised fares to N150,000 on one-way (economy class) – subject to seat availability.

As at the last check, a litre of Jet A1 was sold in Lagos at N810, Abuja (N825), Port Harcourt (N828) and Kano (N840).Chairman of United Nigeria Airline (UNA), Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, said besides exorbitant rates, Jet-A1 has been in short supply in the last couple of days.
Okonkwo said the scarcity would certainly force airlines to reschedule flights leading to late operations and, or, cancellations.

“This unintended development is a pain for airline operators and a stain on the industry, especially at this time of mass movement of people for the Christmas and New Year festivities.
“While we do our utmost best to manage the situation and ensure safe flight operations, we plead for the understanding of the travelling public in the circumstance,” he said.

He also called on the concerned authorities, including product importers and marketers, to do their best to resolve this situation to ease the stress on the travelling public.

Chief Operations Officer of one of the airlines confirmed that the perennial problem of a hike in cost and fuel scarcity still throb the industry despite quietude from operators.
