April 13, (THEWILL) – Domestic carrier, Green Africa, has announced plans to expand its network across Nigeria, starting in August 2023.
The value carrier, on Wednesday, said it will connect Abuja to Sokoto, Kano, Enugu, and Ibadan.
In addition, a second daily service will be added between Benin and Abuja and service will resume between Abuja and Owerri.
With this expansion, Green Africa says the airline aims to establish a base in Abuja, and extend its presence to 16 routes across 10 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Commenting on the development, Babawande Afolabi, Founder and CEO of Green Africa, said, “We set out on the Green Africa journey with a clear vision to use the power of air travel to create a better future, first in Nigeria and later on across the broader African continent. Our commitment to the vision remains firm and the introduction of these new routes marks the next phase of the Green Africa journey.”
Green Africa, which started commercial operations about 20 months ago, has made efforts to penetrate the Nigerian market.
Operating from the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) in Lagos, Green Africa currently flies to Port-Harcourt, Abuja, Benin, Owerri, Akure, Ilorin, and Enugu. The airline also connects Akure, Benin, and Ilorin to Abuja.
