New services to Abuja, Kano and Kaduna commence daily, while Lagos–Sokoto operates three times weekly from November 9, 2026
Umza Air has announced the expansion of its domestic flight network with the introduction of new connections from Lagos to Abuja, Kano, Kaduna and Sokoto, effective November 9, 2026, reinforcing the airline's commitment to making air travel more accessible and affordable for Nigerians.
Under the new schedule, Lagos–Abuja–Lagos, Lagos–Kano–Lagos and Lagos–Kaduna–Lagos will operate daily, while the Lagos–Sokoto–Lagos service will operate three times weekly.
The expansion is designed to provide passengers with more convenient travel options, improve connectivity between major commercial centres and reduce the financial pressure associated with domestic air travel.
Commenting on the development, the Managing Director of Umza Aviation Services Limited, *Barr. Henry Anachuna*, said the airline recognises the growing financial burden passengers face when travelling within the country and is determined to make flying a more accessible option.
"Air travel should not be a luxury that ordinary Nigerians struggle to afford. We understand the financial pressure passengers face when trying to connect to their preferred destinations, and we are determined to help ease that burden by providing more affordable travel options.
"Our objective is to ensure that passengers can travel for business, family commitments and other important engagements without having to contend with excessively high fares. We believe that accessibility and affordability should be central to the growth of domestic aviation in Nigeria, and these new connections are another step towards achieving that objective," he said.
The Managing Director further noted that the expansion reflects Umza Air's broader strategy to strengthen its domestic network and provide passengers with greater connectivity across the country.
"Today, our network connects Abuja, Kano, Birnin Kebbi, Maiduguri, Yola, Sokoto, Lagos, Ilorin and Gombe. We are steadily building a network that connects important economic and regional centres, giving passengers more options to reach their destinations conveniently.
"As we expand, our focus remains on delivering reliable operations, competitive fares and a better travel experience. We want passengers to have more reasons to choose air travel, knowing that affordability, convenience and dependable service remain central to our operations," he added.
With the introduction of these services, Umza Air continues to strengthen its presence in Nigeria's domestic aviation market, connecting the country's northern and southern commercial centres while creating additional opportunities for business, tourism and personal travel.
