Poll Shift: Aero, Arik Slash Fares To Encourage Voters by smog2500: 6:01pm On Feb 18, 2019 |
Nigerian carriers, Aero Contractors and Arik Air,
have introduced promo fares to help Nigerians who
wish to travel to go and vote during the presidential
election.
The airlines made the announcement in separate
statements released on Monday in Lagos.
Chika Ubendu, the spokesperson for Aero
Contractors, said the airline has decided to slash
its fares by 50% to encourage the citizens to
travel to where they can cast their votes.
According to Ubendu, the promo will be effective
from February 18 for travels between February
21 and February 25 on all her routes.
Similarly, Adebanji Ola, Arik Air’s spokesperson,
said the N16,000 Fly to Vote promotion was to
encourage Nigerians to travel to their respective
wards to cast their votes during the elections.
“The N16, 000 promotional fare is the one-way
ticket cost to any domestic destination on Arik
Air’s network and customers must present a
valid Permanent Voters’ Card (PVC) at the point
of purchase and at check-in to be eligible to fly,”
he said.
“The Fly to Vote promotion is available for sale
from February 18 till March 11 for travel
between February 21 and February 26 as well as
March 7 till March 12.
“We have put this promotional fare in place to
ameliorate the effect of the postponement on the
travelling public and encourage voter
participation.” |
