Overland Airways has taken delivery of its second brand new Embraer 175 aircraft, barely 11 months after the acquisition of the first airplane brand.
This is as the airline said that it would commence direct flight services between Lagos and Abuja with the E-175 aircraft from August 9, 2024.
A statement by Mrs. Aduke Atiba, Executive Director of Overland, said that the new service would be operated by the E-175 jet two-class configuration of premium and economy cabins.
She assured that the airline would offer travellers unparalleled convenience and comfort in the route and beyond.

According to her, the airline would offer regular daily direct flights between the Nigeria’s economic hub Lagos and the administrative capital Abuja, operating over 60 weekly frequencies.
She said: “The introduction of this new route is part of Overland’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for convenient and comfortable air services between Lagos and Abuja, and relieving Nigerians of the difficulties they are experiencing on the route.
“The addition of the Lagos to Abuja return direct service to our expanding route network represents a significant milestone in our journey to serve our valued customers better.”
She added that the airline took delivery of the second of six Embraer E-175 aircraft ordered since the 2021 Dubai Airshow in June.
The first E175 was delivered in September 2023 and four more are expected to join the fleet. The E175 is a dual-class 88-seater modern jet aircraft.
“Whether traveling for business or pleasure, we welcome passengers to experience comfort in our Premium Cabin. With the delivery of the latest brand new Embraer E-175 jet aircraft, Overland Airways is set to launch flight services to more destinations in Nigeria and across West Africa. We assure our esteemed customers of quality and consistent service that Overland Airways is known for,” she said.
