Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation and aerospace development, has blamed the current high airfares on domestic routes on aircraft scarcity, and insufficient maintenance infrastructure.
The senate had summoned Keyamo, and key industry stakeholders for an urgent meeting over the sharp rise in domestic airfares.
The resolution followed a motion raised by Abdulfatai Buhari, senator representing Oyo north, who warned that the escalating prices threaten national mobility and could disrupt travel ahead of the festive season.
Speaking with journalists after the federal executive council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday, Keyamo said the federal government has no power to regulate or cap ticket prices charged by airlines.
