Experts Support Emirates’ Dollar Pricing in Nigeria

Published

on


Aviation experts support Emirates Airlines’ decision to charge passengers in dollars, citing the airline’s dollar-based costs and financial challenges in Nigeria. Emirates pays for services like airport fees and fuel in dollars, making naira pricing difficult to maintain. Olumide Ohunayo of the Aviation Round Table explained that inconsistent aviation policies in Nigeria justify the move.

Experts also noted that currency fluctuations and trapped funds have added pressure on airlines. While some customers may prefer naira payments, dollar-priced tickets are often more affordable.

Kingsley Nwokoma emphasized payment should remain a choice, warning that mandating dollar payments could cause disruptions. Meanwhile, John Ojikutu highlighted the billions foreign airlines contribute to Nigeria, questioning how these funds are managed. NANTA has requested Emirates to continue offering naira payment options alongside dollars.
