He noted that the airline remains dedicated to strengthening domestic connectivity, while progressively extending its operations to key destinations across Nigeria and the wider West African sub-region.

The ValueJet boss added that the Lagos–Benin route will provide travellers with a quicker and more convenient alternative to road travel, particularly for business and leisure passengers who frequently commute between the two cities.

He further said that the inclusion of Benin City in the airline’s network underscores ValueJet’s commitment to connecting more commercial and regional centres through seamless air travel services.

Majekodunmi said, “The addition of Benin to our network reflects our focus on connecting key cities across Nigeria with safe, reliable and customer-friendly services.

“We are pleased to provide more accessible and efficient travel options for our passengers while continuing to expand our reach.”
