US EditionNigeria: FCCPC Widens Probe to Curb 'Exploitative' Airfares On South-South, South-East Routes
The FCCPC probes possible collusion among airlines on South-South and South-East routes after consumer complaints about sharp airfare increases, focusing on fair pricing enforcement.
- The FCCPC widened its probe into domestic airfares on South‑South and South‑East domestic routes , focusing on operators flying the affected routes, the commission said on Friday.
- Complaints and apparent coordination among carriers prompted the Commission's pricing-pattern review after rising public complaints from Nigerian air travellers and signs of coordinated fare movements.
- Air Peace went to court after the probe began to stop the Commission from examining its pricing template, but the Commission said the investigation continues independently of the court case.
- The FCCPC warned it will apply enforcement measures where evidence confirms a breach of the Act, positioning itself to shield Nigerian consumers from excessive, opaque or collusive fares.
- FCCPC Executive Vice Chairman/CEO Tunji Bello said, `For the avoidance of doubt, we are not a price control board. But the FCCPA 2018 empowers us to check the exploitation of consumers.` The Commission's mandate allows it to monitor economic conduct and investigate anti‑competitive actions.
