ValueJet deepens Lagos–Owerri air link amid demand

By Dickson Omobola

ValueJet has concluded plans to commence daily flights between Lagos and Owerri, effective March 23, 2026.

This will strengthen connectivity between the country’s commercial hub and the South-East region.

The airline, which currently operates three weekly flights on the Lagos–Owerri route, is increasing frequency to seven flights a week in response to growing passenger demand and the need for more flexible travel options.

With this expansion, customers travelling between Lagos and Owerri will benefit from improved scheduling convenience, reduced travel constraints and enhanced access throughout the week.

Speaking on the development, ValueJet’s Managing Director, Captain Majekodunmi, said the move aligns with its commitment to improving domestic air connectivity and supporting economic and social ties across Nigeria.

According to him, the daily service is expected to better serve professionals, families, entrepreneurs, and other travellers who rely on consistent and dependable air travel.
