Airlines give date to commence sale of tickets in Dollars in Nigeria

Some foreign airlines are scheduled to commence the sale of tickets in Dollars in Nigeria beginning from April 19, 2022.

This was announced by APG Nigeria in an advisory to its travel partners, titled: “APG IET: Restrictions of Sales in US dollars.”

APG is the largest and most successful passenger and ​cargo GSA and airline representation company in the world with offices around the world, including Europe, Africa and Middle East.

The advisory read: “Dear travel partners, warm greetings from APG.

“This is to bring to your notice that with effect from April 19, 2022, GP would only accept issuing of tickets in US dollars and not Naira.

“This is mainly due to repatriation issues and Forex situation in the country.

“This would most likely be a temporary measure till the Forex situation improves.

“Our sincere apologies for any inconveniences this may cause you and your business.

“Thank you for understanding.”
