This eliminates the need for multiple bookings and baggage re-checks, simplifying travel logistics for both agents and clients.

Inbound travelers from London will benefit from seamless connections every morning from Abuja to various Nigerian cities, including Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin, Warri, Owerri, Kano, Yola, Gombe, and Asaba, with more destinations planned.

For African travel agents, these new routes present a valuable opportunity to expand their product offerings and cater to the growing demand for Nigeria-UK travel. The competitive fares, convenient connections, and direct access to both Heathrow and Gatwick provide agents with greater flexibility in designing customized itineraries for their clients.
