Arik Air yesterday said it has not increased fares across its network as being widely reported in the media, even as the airline has warned travellers to be wary of touts who might cash in on the current reduced capacity in the domestic airline industry to dupe them of their cash.
The airline’s associate vice president, Public and Government Affairs, Mr Lanre Bamgbose, said the airline’s fare remained as it was at the beginning of the year.
This is coming on the heels of an allegation by some travellers that the airline had yesterday increased its fares due to the temporary suspension of the services of Aero and Dana Air over the weekend.
Bamgbose said: “Our fares still remain competitive in the industry. We have special low fares to all destinations as well as lower fares when you book on line . Further discounts are available when you are booking a return domestic flight.”
He called on the travelling public to beware of activities of touts who are cashing in on inadequate capacity currently experienced in the domestic market to dupe unsuspecting passengers.
“Touting thrives when passengers are desperate. This is why we always advise our guests to buy their tickets on time and directly from our sales desk at the airports or sales outlets across the country and duly accredited travel agents,” he further said.
