Founded in 2018 as a virtual airline brokering flights through other airlines, ValueJet has been moving to establish itself as Nigeria’s newest low-cost carrier.
While the launch came at a difficult period for Nigeria’s aviation industry, the airline has established itself as one of the reliable carriers in Nigeria as it expands its route network to meet the demand of its guests.

The carrier’s vision is ambitious. It sees a world where everybody can fly.
According to Dapo Majekodunmi, the managing director of the airline said “ValueJet aims to add value from the very first flight once we set for business operations.”
“Currently, only about five percent of Nigeria’s population can afford a flight ticket, according to available statistics, and ValueJet is looking to increase this number significantly through creative fare pricing.”
Having reached its first 100 days in business, ValueJet is setting its sights on entering Nigeria’s domestic air cargo industry.
