Overland Airways Launches Direct Flights Between Lagos-Abuja

…Introduces Premium Cabin Experience with New Embraer E-175 Jets

Overland Airways, Nigeria’s longest-serving domestic airline, has announced the commencement of direct flight services between Lagos and Abuja.

In a statement, the airline said starting August 9, 2024, it will offer regular daily flights between the nation’s economic hub and its administrative capital, operating over 60 weekly frequencies to enhance connectivity and capacity on this crucial route.

The new service will utilize Overland Airways’ recently acquired Embraer E-175 jets, which feature a two-class configuration of Premium and Economy cabins. This initiative promises to provide travelers with an unmatched blend of convenience and comfort.

Executive Director of Overland, Mrs. Aduke Atiba, emphasized the airline’s commitment to addressing the increasing demand for reliable air travel between Lagos and Abuja.

“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,” said Mrs. Atiba.

In June 2024, Overland Airways received the second of six Embraer E-175 aircraft ordered during the 2021 Dubai Airshow. The first E-175 was delivered in September 2023, with four more expected to join the fleet soon.

The E-175 is a state-of-the-art, dual-class 88-seater jet that promises a superior flying experience.

“Whether traveling for business or pleasure, we welcome passengers to experience comfort in our Premium Cabin. With the delivery of the latest brand new Embraer E-175 jet aircraft, Overland Airways is set to launch flight services to more destinations in Nigeria and across West Africa. We assure our esteemed customers of quality and consistent service that Overland Airways is known for,” added Mrs. Atiba.

With these new jets, Overland Airways is poised to enhance its service offerings across all destinations, reaffirming its reputation for quality and reliability in the aviation industry.
