₦240,000 Helicopter Shuttle Introduced As 3rd Mainland Bridge Is Closed For Repairs

Tropical Arctic Logistics Limited has introduced a Helicopter shuttle service to transport passengers between Lagos Mainland and Victoria Island. This is in response to the recent closure of the 3rd Mainland Bridge.

Ten days ago, the Federal Government effected a partial closure of the busiest bridge in the country. This is in order to replace damaged components for better motoring experience on the bridge.

The closure of the bridge has led to apprehension amongst Lagosians. Diversion of traffic is also expected to cause increased congestion in the state.

The shuttle flight is expected to cater for those who are willing to pay a considerably higher transportion cost. Also, they’ll save themselves the time and hassle of commuting between the Mainland and Island by road during the closure of the bridge.

According to the Helicopter shuttle company, a one-way trip per person has a price tag of $500 (about ₦240,000) at the current exchange rate. The pickup point is Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MM2) and drop-off is Victoria Island and vice-versa.
