Seventy two hours after the Presidential and National Assembly elections, domestic carriers yesterday resumed normal operations on major routes.
The pick up of flights operations follows the lull that characterised flights a few days before the March 23 elections before the polls were rescheduled.
Speaking in a telephone interview, Corporate Communications Manager, Air Peace, Chris Iwarah, said the carrier has had good run of flights on major routes except on the Lagos – Kano route.
According to him, passengers’ load factor remains high on other routes including Lagos- Abuja; Lagos Owerri, Lagos Enugu, Lagos Calabar, Lagos – Uyo and other routes.
He however said operations on the Lagos- Kano route has remained not too impressive.
He gave no reasons for the lull for the flights.
Also speaking, spokesman of Dana Air, Kingsley Ezenwa said flights have been normal on all routes the carrier flies.
He said: ” Our flights has remained normal, not drop in passenger traffic on all routes.”
A source said both terminals of the Lagos Domestic Airport remained a beehive of activities.
Sources hinted that Arik Air, Aero, Overland Airways too recorded normal flights.
