Published by

Nigeria’s frontline scheduled and charter airline, Overland Airways has announced that it will launch flight services from Lagos to Cotonou, Republic of Benin and Lome, Togo Republic, starting from August 12, 2018.

Speaking at a press conference to sensitise the public on the development in Lagos, the Chief Operating Officer of Overland Airways, Aanu Benson stated that “the flights will depart Lagos at 19:00, arrive Cotonou at 19:25, depart Cotonou at 20:00 to arrive Lome at 20:30 and will also depart Lome at 21:00 to arrive Lagos at 21:45.”

According to Benson, the commencement of the regional flight services marked the take-off of Overland Airways drive to participate actively in regional socio economic activities and integration.

While pledging that the airline will continue to work on its fleet maximisation as the need arises, Benson declared “West Africa is our territory and 12th August marks the beginning of domestic West Africa operations.”

Benson added that the airline’s current and new customers will enjoy their premium services as it continues to improve on its services.

“Overland Airways operations to Cotonou and Lome are to offer choices to customers as our contribution to regional integration in West Africa. We want air travelers in the region to team up and discover each other while enjoying the excellent services we offer. It is an expression of Nigeria’s aviation renaissance in West Africa.

“One of the most important missing factors facing sustainable economic transformation in West Africa is smooth interconnectivity. Over the coming years, Overland Airways will facilitate a new environment for business, leisure travellers, families, students, and more essentially bolster that bonding amongst the peoples and groupings in the region. There is need to reinforce unity and prosperity at the regional level.”

The airline which is listed on the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Registry has nine aircraft in its fleet.
