Overland Airways returns to Warri with services to Osubi from Lagos, Abuja

Overland Airways has recommenced flight services to Warri (Osubi Airport), Delta State, from Lagos and Abuja, effective May 20, 2025.

Chief Operating Officer of Overland Airways, Mrs. Aderonke Emmanuel-James, said: “Overland Airways’ resumption of flight services to Warri is in response to the yearnings of our customers for reliable air transport to connect the city and its environs with Abuja and Lagos.

The flight will support important economic and social linkages between the people of Delta State and other parts of Nigeria.

“Passengers on the Warri service can connect seamlessly across our network to destinations in Northern and Southwestern Nigeria. To fully support this aspiration, we are deploying on the route our brand-new Embraer E-175 jet aircraft which features Premium and Economy Class cabins.”

Overland Airways expanding route network has seen the restoration of flight services from Lagos and Abuja to Jalingo, Taraba State; and commencement of new services from Lagos and Abuja to Minna, Niger State. The Warri route is the latest route while plans are afoot to launch other routes in the months ahead.

“We have commenced with three weekly flight services from Warri to Abuja and Lagos with plans to scale up the services to a daily operation in the coming weeks. We express our appreciation to the Management and Staff of Osubi Airport for their support and assure our customers of the consistent and reliable flight services that Overland Airways is noted for”, Emmanuel-James added.

The airline’s service offering has evolved from an all-turboprop fleet to a mixed fleet with the introduction of brand-new Embraer E175 jets. In October 2024, Overland Airways renewed its IOSA safety certification for the 5^th consecutive time reaffirming its position as a safe and leading African carrier.
