One of Nigeria’s domestic airlines, Overland Airways, has resumed flight operations to Warri, (Osubi Airport), Delta State from Lagos and Abuja.
According to the airline, the carrier will operate the Warri-Lagos-Warri route and the Warri-Abuja-Warri route on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, offering morning arrival and departure into and from Warri.
It further stated that Overland Airways flights will depart Lagos to Warri at 0815am and Warri to Lagos 12.30pm. Flights from Warri to Abuja will depart at 0925am while Abuja to Warri will depart 1105am.
Speaking on the new development, 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. This 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” Mrs.James added.

What a relief…so many airlines had abandoned that route and travelling to Warri & environs had been a horror movie for about a year! Phew!
