ValueJet has concluded plans to launch three new routes from its hub in Lagos to Cotonou, Benin Republic; Accra, Ghana and Malabo in Equatorial Guinea, less than three years after commencing scheduled flight operations.

The airline kick-started its foray into regional operations with the launch of direct flights to Banjul, The Gambia, from Lagos on May 15, 2025, deepening competition in the region.

The carrier’s foray into the Banjul route has opened up and liberalised the market, as the airline is doing remarkably well on the route.

The Managing Director of ValueJet, Capt. Omololu Dapo Majekodunmi said, “Our goal is to make air connectivity on the West Coast and indeed Africa seamless, comfortable, affordable and a refreshing experience. We are ready to take up the challenge and kick off the second phase of our regional operations with the commencement of our Cotonou, Accra and Malabo services very soon.

“We are expanding our West African presence to strategically connect key cities in the sub-region, ease connectivity for Africans and strengthen commercial ties between countries.

“ValueJet is committed to easing the air transportation burden of Africans, and this will continue to drive our route expansion as well as fleet modernisation. We also recently received CRJ 1000 aircraft to further strengthen our domestic and regional operations”, he stated.
