Air Nigeria is set to launch flight operations to Sao Tome via Douala and Libreville, in continuation of its regional routes network roll out, the airline said in a statement today.
The launch of the new route is coming just as Air Nigeria recently introduced direct flights between Abuja and Enugu as well as Abuja and Owerri on the domestic route network.
The new route, which will be inaugurated on 18 August, is in line with Air Nigeria’s route expansion plan.
The launch of the Lagos – Sao Tome route brings to 10, the number of regional routes operated by Air Nigeria in Africa as it currently operates to some capital cities across the West coast and the Central African region.
Sao Tome is an island in Central Africa that has a rich reserve of natural resources and is predominantly a holiday resort with vast expanse of beautiful beaches.
