Two Nigerian domestic carriers, Air Peace Airlines and United Nigeria Airlines, have fixed their yuletide economy airfare at N350,500.
According to a report by Nigerian Tribune, this would affect trips from Lagos and Abuja to South East (Owerri, Enugu, and Anambra) airports and South South (Port Harcourt and Asaba) airports.
The cost of an inbound ticket from these airports to Abuja or Lagos is also N350,500.
The air fares are already displayed on their websites.
For Air Peace, the fare of N350,500 starts from December 1, 2025. It spans from the end of the month to January 30, 2026. For United Nigeria, the N350,500 fare starts from the second week of December (December 11, precisely), and lasts until the end of the month as well.
However, for United Nigeria, one-way economy ticket from January 1, 2026, for Abuja to Asaba, and also for Abuja to Anambra, Port Harcourt, and Owerri, drops to N150,000.
The fares charged by both Air Peace and United Nigeria to the northern part of the country for the yuletide are relatively low.
Air Peace’s one-way economy ticket for Lagos to Kano, for instance, is in the range of N106,900.
For United Nigeria, the airfare for Lagos to Kano is almost flat at N220,499.
Air Peace does not have a daily flight from Lagos to Yola. But it will charge N350,500 as its airfare for the days it will fly to the destination.

So how are ordinary Nigerians supposed to afford ₦350,500 for a one-way ticket when many people don’t even earn that in a month?
