See what it costs to fuel a plane from Lagos to London

I have been very inquisitive about air travel lately. This took me on a journey to actually find out how much it costs to fuel planes.

In this article, we would be using a Boeing 747 as reference and data (cost of aviation fuel) provided by IATA (International Air Transport Association).

We would be calculating how much fuel would be consumed on a flight from Lagos (MMA) to London (Heathrow). First, let’s get some parameters right

Distance between the two airports :-

Approx. 5,006 Km

Time taken for the journey :-

6 hours 35 mins , which is equal to 395 mins

Cost of aviation fuel :-

According to IATA, it costs 211.23 cts/gal
cts/gal is a term used in aviation,it means cents per gallon.
Lets convert this figure to ₦/litre
Lets use 360 per $
One dollar is 100 cents
211.23 cents = 2.11 dollars
To Naira = ₦759.6
This figure is per gallon
1 Gallon is approx. 3.79 litres
That means its costs ₦759.6 per 3.79 litres
That gives us ₦200.42 per litre

Quantity of fuel used for the journey :-

The Boeing 747 uses about 12 litres per kilometre. Remember we are travelling 5,006 Km. That’s 60,072 litres consumed from Lagos to London. Let’s covert that to Naira. Remember it costs ₦200.42 per litre. That brings the total cost of fuel to travel from Lagos to London to ₦12,039,630.24!!

The Nigerian government has reacted to the outburst of the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu that his return to Nigeria would be disastrous as he is coming back to Nigeria and this time he is coming with hell. Reacting, however, presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, in a statement on Tuesday asked Nigerians to ignore Kanu as his threat to bring hell to Nigeria was impractical. He said, "The Presidency wishes to restate that Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari is strong enough to defend its territory against any threat, assuring all Nigerians that there is no reason to worry about the hollow outburst by Nnamdi Kanu, the disputed leader of IPOB on returning to the country 'with hell'.

"The Buhari administration is in consta...
