Travellers between Nigeria’s commercial capital and the South-East are set to enjoy greater convenience as ValueJet rolls out a new daily flight schedule linking Lagos and Owerri from March 23, 2026.
The expansion is aimed at improving regional mobility, supporting business travel, and offering passengers more consistent options on one of the country’s important domestic corridors.
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 for business and leisure travellers.
