ValueJet is resuming daily flights between Lagos and Asaba, as well as Asaba and Abuja, from Friday, 20 November 2026, restoring direct air connections to Delta State ahead of Nigeria’s busy festive travel season.
The return of the two routes comes as Nigerians begin making plans to travel home for Christmas and the New Year. For residents of Asaba and surrounding communities in Delta and Anambra states, the restored services offer another option for reaching family and friends without relying on lengthy road journeys.
Under the new schedule, ValueJet will operate daily flights on both the Lagos-Asaba and Asaba-Abuja routes. The airline says the services are intended to give passengers more flexibility during the final weeks of the year, when demand for domestic travel typically increases.
The Lagos-Asaba route connects Nigeria’s commercial centre with Asaba, the capital of Delta State. The Asaba-Abuja service provides a direct link between the state capital and the Federal Capital Territory. Both routes are particularly relevant to travellers who need to move between these cities for family visits, business commitments and holiday arrangements.
For many Nigerians living and working outside their home states, the festive season is one of the few opportunities to reunite with relatives. The availability of daily flights gives passengers more choice when arranging their journeys, whether they intend to travel early in December or closer to Christmas.
ValueJet Managing Director Omololu Majekodunmi said the restoration reflects the airline’s commitment to maintaining connections between communities, particularly during the holiday period.
“The 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,” Majekodunmi said.

He added that restoring daily services to Asaba would help meet passengers’ travel needs during one of the busiest periods of the year, describing the flights as a reliable, comfortable and affordable travel option for families and communities across the region.
The return of the routes also forms part of ValueJet’s wider domestic and regional network. Within Nigeria, the airline serves destinations including Port Harcourt, Jos, Owerri, Calabar, Benin and GWI-Iperu.
Its regional operations extend beyond Nigeria to destinations such as Accra, Banjul, Cotonou and Malabo. The airline has also announced plans for further expansion into West and Central Africa, with Libreville, Monrovia and Abidjan identified as upcoming destinations.
With the Asaba services scheduled to resume on 20 November, ValueJet is encouraging passengers to make reservations early to secure their preferred travel dates during the festive period.
Travellers can check flight schedules, request fare information and make reservations through the airline’s official website, www.flyvaluejet.com, or contact its customer service team through official channels.
ValueJet is operated by FlyForValue Aviation. Founded in 2018, the Nigerian airline began commercial operations in October 2022, with its main operational hubs in Lagos and Abuja. It focuses on domestic and regional passenger services and continues to develop its route network across West Africa.
