Aero Contractors Vs other Domestic Airlines
Despite being the oldest airline in Nigeria, Aero Contractors holds its own when compared to other domestic flights in terms of safety and in-flight experience. However, reviews suggest a much needed improvement in poor customer service, and payment issues in cases where passengers are being debited without receiving e-ticket.
To view reviews, you may visit Aero Contractors Facebook page, or use tools such as Flight Scanner, JumiaTravel, Wakanow, or TravelStart, and other similar tools to search and compare flights.
