Nigeria’s airlines are to stop domestic operations from Monday in protest at the spiralling cost of jet fuel.
It has risen almost fourfold this year, which was unsustainable, the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) said.
« No airline in the world can absorb this kind of sudden shock from such an astronomical rise over a short period, » its statement said.
The hikes have been triggered principally by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at the end of February.
