ValueJet is restoring daily flights on its Lagos\u2013Asaba and Asaba\u2013Abuja routes from Friday, November 20, 2026, giving passengers more convenient travel options, easier connections and greater flexibility as demand rises ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays.<\/p>\n

The restored services are expected to benefit thousands of travellers heading to Delta State and neighbouring communities across the South-East and South-South, particularly Nigerians looking forward to reuniting with family and friends during the festive season.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With daily non-stop flights on both routes, passengers will have more flexibility to plan their journeys, whether travelling early to spend more time with loved ones or departing closer to Christmas after completing their work commitments. The services will also provide an alternative to lengthy road journeys for travellers moving between Asaba, Lagos and Abuja.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as preparations for the end-of-year holidays gather momentum, with increased travel demand expected as Nigerians return to their hometowns for family gatherings and celebrations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking on the resumption, Managing Director of ValueJet, Omololu Majekodunmi, said the decision reflected the airline\u2019s commitment to making air travel more accessible and ensuring that distance does not prevent families from coming together during the festive period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe festive season is fundamentally about people, relationships, and shared moments. At ValueJet, our mission is to ensure that distance never stands in the way of those connections,\u201d Majekodunmi said.<\/p>\n

He added that restoring daily services to Asaba demonstrated the airline\u2019s commitment to meeting passengers\u2019 travel needs during one of the busiest periods of the year, while providing a reliable, comfortable and affordable gateway home for families and communities across the region.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Lagos\u2013Asaba route connects Nigeria\u2019s commercial capital directly with Delta State, facilitating access to Asaba and surrounding communities. Similarly, the Asaba\u2013Abuja service provides a direct link between the state capital and the Federal Capital Territory, eliminating the need for lengthy road trips and complicated connecting itineraries.<\/p>\n

The resumption also complements ValueJet\u2019s expanding domestic and regional network, which provides air links to destinations including Port Harcourt, Jos, Owerri, Calabar, Benin and GWI-Iperu.<\/p>\n

Beyond Nigeria, the airline serves regional destinations such as Accra, Banjul, Cotonou and Malabo, with planned route expansions to Libreville, Monrovia and Abidjan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To facilitate holiday travel planning, ValueJet has encouraged passengers to book early to secure their preferred travel dates, particularly as demand is expected to increase towards the festive period.<\/p>\n
