Nigerian airlines are set to suspend all domestic flights starting from Monday due to a fourfold increase in jet fuel prices, states the Airline Operators of Nigeria. The price of jet fuel has surged from 190 to 700 Nigerian naira per litre (from $0.45 to almost $1.70). This rise is a direct consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The sudden and significant increase is unsustainable for airlines, making air travel unaffordable for Nigerians already facing various challenges.
