FCCPC Investigates Alleged Airfare Exploitation by Airlines

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) is expanding its investigation into domestic airlines' pricing practices following numerous complaints of price manipulation and consumer exploitation. The probe targets specific routes, especially in the South East and South South regions, ahead of the festive season.

FCCPC clarifies that it does not control prices but aims to prevent consumer exploitation. Tunji Bello, FCCPC's CEO, emphasizes the commission's commitment to safeguarding consumer welfare and ensuring fair market practices.
