Nigeria is facing a shortage of foreign currency due to the collapse in global petroleum prices.
“Most of our passengers are Nigerians and they usually buy return tickets and pay in naira. But the bulk of the charges we pay in Ghana are in dollars and those charges are so expensive by the time we convert air fares collected in naira to dollars," said a representative from Dana Air.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has demanded airlines stop selling tickets in dollars.
