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.
