The end of the year carries an undeniable emotional pull back to one’s roots. It is the season of growing gift lists, overpacked suitcases, group chats buzzing with reunion itineraries, and the quiet warmth of returning to familiar streets. For many families, December represents the single period in the year when loved ones assemble under one roof.
By reintroducing daily non-stop frequency on both routes, ValueJet provides critical operational flexibility for holiday travellers. Whether passengers are heading home early to spend the entire season with family or flying out closer to Christmas Eve after wrapping up the work year, the restored schedule ensures convenient travel options suited to different holiday plans.
“The festive season is fundamentally about people, relationships, and shared moments. At ValueJet, our mission is to ensure that distance never stands in the way of those connections,” said Omololu Majekodunmi, Managing Director of ValueJet.
“Restoring our daily services to Asaba reflects our deep commitment to serving the travel needs of our passengers during the most important time of the year. We are proud to offer a reliable, comfortable, and affordable gateway home for families and communities across the region.”
The Lagos–Asaba service connects Nigeria’s commercial capital directly with Asaba, the capital of Delta State, providing easier access to communities across the South-South and South-East regions.
Similarly, the Asaba–Abuja route offers passengers a direct connection between the nation’s capital and Asaba, reducing the need for lengthy road journeys and complicated connecting flights.
The resumption also complements ValueJet’s expanding domestic and regional flight network. Within Nigeria, the airline serves destinations including Port Harcourt, Jos, Owerri, Calabar, Benin and GWI-Iperu.
Beyond the country’s borders, ValueJet operates regional services to destinations such as Accra, Banjul, Cotonou and Malabo, while plans are underway to expand its network to Libreville, Monrovia and Abidjan.
To mark the return of the Asaba services and help passengers prepare for the festive travel period, the airline has encouraged travellers to book their flights early to secure preferred travel dates.
