Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a new gantry price for aviation fuel, fixing the cost at ₦1,820 per litre in a move that could ripple across Nigeria’s aviation sector.
The pricing decision, disclosed on a breaking basis, places fresh focus on fuel costs—one of the largest operational expenses for airlines—raising concerns over potential impacts on ticket prices and air travel demand.
Industry stakeholders are expected to closely monitor how carriers respond, as aviation fuel pricing remains a critical determinant of route viability and fare structures.
The development also underscores the growing influence of the refinery in Nigeria’s downstream oil market, as it continues to shape supply dynamics and pricing benchmarks within the sector.
