LAGOS, Nigeria – [February 13, 2025] – In a move that underscores the growing digitization of Africa’s travel industry, Wakanow, leading travel agency in Nigeria has integrated XEJet, Nigeria’s premium domestic airline, into its booking platform. The partnership expands flight options for business and leisure travellers while signalling a shift toward greater accessibility in the country’s aviation sector.
With 12 daily flights between Lagos and Abuja, XEJet offers both economy and business class services, catering to the increasing demand for flexible domestic travel. The airline plans to expand its network in the coming months, further strengthening domestic connectivity.
According to a statement made available to the media, Adenike Macaulay, CEO, Wakanow Nigeria expressed satisfaction with the successful integration by the company’s in-house technology team. She stated that: “With its strong focus on reliability, comfort, and accessibility, this integration aligns with Wakanow’s mission to simplify travel for our customers while offering more choices through our technology-driven platform.”
Macaulay added that the partnership reflects a broader transformation in Africa’s aviation industry, where technology and customer-centric innovation are redefining air travel. “As demand for efficient, premium, and tech-driven booking solutions grows, partnerships like this are crucial for unlocking new opportunities. Wakanow remains committed to leading this shift, ensuring travellers have access to the best options at their fingertips,” she said.
The partnership comes as Nigeria’s aviation sector experiences increased competition and growing passenger demand, particularly among corporate travellers seeking efficiency. Ugonna Agubuokwu, Chief Commercial Officer of XEJet, emphasized that the collaboration enhances customer access. “By making XEJet flights available on Wakanow.com, we are streamlining the booking process and making air travel more accessible to a wider audience,” he said.
Ugonna also noted that XEJet’s pricing model makes premium domestic travel more attainable. “With economy fares starting at ₦90,000 and business class from ₦220,000, we are providing an elevated experience at competitive rates. These fares include promotional discounts, ensuring more travellers can access premium comfort, reliability, and top-tier service without compromise,” he said.
Beyond premium services, XEJet distinguishes itself through safety, reliability, and frequency, key factors in an industry where operational consistency is critical.
As digital platforms increasingly shape Africa’s aviation landscape, Wakanow’s integration of XEJet highlights the growing role of technology in expanding flight accessibility and enhancing the passenger experience.
