Overland Airways has announced the commencement of direct flight services from Lagos to Abuja.
Beginning from August 9, 2024, Overland Airways will offer regular daily direct flights between Nigeria’s economic hub Lagos and the administrative capital Abuja, operating over 60 weekly frequencies between the two cities to boost capacity on the route.
This new service operates with Overland Airways’ brand new Embraer E-175 jets in a two-class configuration of Premium and Economy cabins.
Aduke Atiba, Executive Director of Overland said: “The introduction of this new route is part of Overland’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for convenient and comfortable air services between Lagos and Abuja, and relieving Nigerians of the difficulties they are experiencing on the route.
The addition of the Lagos to Abuja return direct service to our expanding route network represents a significant milestone in our journey to serve our valued customers better.”
