Green Africa to operate flights to Kano, Sokoto, Enugu, others at N25,000

Green Africa, Nigeria’s value airline, has announced its plans to expand its network across Nigeria starting in August of 2023 and will connect Abuja to Sokoto, Kano, Enugu, and Ibadan.

The airline said customers can enjoy fares from as low as N25,000 on all Green Africa routes (including these new routes) if they book their flights at least 60 days ahead.

In addition, a second daily service will be added between Benin and Abuja and service will resume between Abuja and Owerri. With this expansion, Green Africa aims to establish a base in Abuja and extend its presence to 16 routes across 10 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Our commitment to the vision remains firm and the introduction of these new routes marks the next phase of the Green Africa journey.”

Green Africa, which started commercial operations about 20 months ago, has earned a strong reputation in the market as one of the most affordable and on-time carriers in Nigeria.

Operating from the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) in Lagos, Green Africa currently flies to Port-Harcourt, Abuja, Benin, Owerri, Akure, Ilorin, and Enugu as well as connects Akure, Benin, and Ilorin to Abuja respectively.
