Hundreds of passengers thronged the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos on Monday to secure seats to travel to their various destinations.
But, it was not a pleasant experience as they had to pay between N60, 000 and N95,400 to secure a seat on the economy cabin in most of the domestic carriers flying on the Lagos/Abuja/ Port Harcourt /Benin/Asaba and other routes.
Many passengers who looked forward to booking seats were disappointed as the portal indicated there was no space on board the carriers.
Worried over the trend, passengers that thronged the airports terminals had to approach airline ticketing counter personnel, which could only offer higher fares.
At the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two (MMA2), Ikeja, counters of AeroContractors, Arik Air, Air Peace, AZMAN Air and Max Air were busy as the personnel on ground attended to passengers.
