Domestic airlines in Nigeria are witnessing a significant increase in passenger numbers as travelers opt for air travel to reach their families for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations. Many are willing to pay airfares as high as N200,000 in order to avoid the perceived dangers associated with traveling on the highways during this festive period. The surge in demand for flights is particularly notable across key northern destinations, reflecting a shift in preference towards air travel for safety and convenience. Airlines are responding to this demand by increasing flight frequencies to accommodate the influx of passengers.
