Overland Airways has recommenced flights to Akure from Lagos, with services set to operate from Monday to Saturday every week. The flights, which commenced on March 23, 2026, will depart from Lagos to Akure at 0830am and Akure to Lagos at 0940am. This development marks a significant milestone in the airline's commitment to providing reliable and convenient air travel services to the people of Ondo State and adjoining communities.
The resumption of flight services from Lagos to Akure complements Overland Airways' existing Abuja-Akure-Abuja flights, strengthening its dedication to providing safe, excellent, and customer-centric air travel services. The airline's expanding route network has also seen the restoration of flight services from Lagos and Abuja to several destinations across Nigeria, including Ibadan, Warri, Jalingo, and Minna.
Overland Airways' Chief Operating Officer, Aderonke Emmanuel-James, expressed the airline's enthusiasm for the new development, stating that it looks forward to welcoming passengers on board.
The resumption of Overland Airways' flights to Akure is a welcome development for residents of Ondo State and surrounding communities. However, it highlights the need for the Federal Government to invest in the country's aviation infrastructure to ensure that air travel services are reliable and efficient. The airline's expanding route network also underscores the importance of regional connectivity in driving economic growth. With the country's economy heavily reliant on air travel, it is essential that the government prioritizes the development of the aviation sector.
