Nigerian carrier, ValueJet, has concluded plans to commence Lagos-Accra-Lagos flights beginning from March 30.
The move is in line with the carrier’s regional expansion plans, having successfully launched service to Banjul, The Gambia, over a year ago.
The inaugural flight will depart from the new terminal at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, daily at 8:00 am with return flights from Accra to Lagos by 9:00 am .
ValueJet’s Managing Director, Capt. Omololu Majekodunmi, said the Accra route is central to the airline’s goal of facilitating seamless, affordable connectivity along the West African coast.
Majekodunmi said: “We are thrilled to commence our regional service with the inaugural flight between Lagos and Accra slated for March 30th 2026. This is a significant step for ValueJet as we expand our network beyond Nigeria and across the African continent.
“With this new route, we aim to enhance connectivity between Nigeria and Ghana, fostering tourism, trade, and tighter economic and cultural ties. ValueJet remains committed to delivering exceptional services to our passengers, and we invite travellers between Nigeria and Ghana to choose ValueJet and experience the best of our service offering.
“We are hopeful our Accra-Lagos-Accra service will make a seamless connection between Nigeria and Ghana an exciting possibility, as well as boost the economy of the two countries in unimaginable ways.
We are proud to play a part in bridging distances and fostering closer economic ties between the people and businesses of Nigeria, Ghana, and beyond, and opening new opportunities for trade and tourism.”
