Nigeria’s scheduled air capacity is set to decline for the second consecutive quarter in Q4 2025, according to the IATA Quarterly Air Transport Chartbook Q3 2025.
The projection places Nigeria among the few African markets expected to experience a double-digit contraction in seat capacity for the period.
In contrast, other major African markets such as Egypt and South Africa are projected to expand seat capacity by 8.6% and 11.8% year-on-year, respectively.
