Airport. Overland Airways assures its customers and the general public of
reliable, efficient and comfortable flight services to and from the Nnamdi
Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
“The sustenance of economic activities is topmost priority
for both the private sector and government, and air transport as a key driver
of economic activities has these past weeks proven its indispensability in
supporting Nigeria’s economic activities and development. We thank our
passengers for their patronage and assure you all of excellent services ahead
from Overland Airways," he said.
Overland, he said, salutes government’s commitment which has
largely ensured the successful movement of people and goods to Abuja through
Kaduna International Airport these past weeks. Overland Airways is a dedicated
partner in the current efforts to rebuild Nigeria’s economy. We also
congratulate the Kaduna State government for being the resourceful host and
supporting the achievement of successful flight operations. ”
“And that is why we have been available to support the
swift, comfortable and seamless movement of our passengers during the relocation
of Abuja flights to Kaduna. Our joy is in the realization that our customers
have been able to carry on with their business and leisure activities through
our dedicated flight services.”

comfort and convenience irrespective of challenges in the operating
environment.
“We appreciate our customers for their steadfast support
over the past weeks and indeed over the 15 years of Overland Airways existence.
We assure our customers of improved services and increased-value offerings.

provided uninterrupted flight services in Nigeria over these past 15 years,
with a passion for economic development.”
