Air Nigeria returns to SA


Air Nigeria – formerly known as Virgin Nigeria – will relaunch flights to South Africa from 

17June, with three services per week between Lagos and Johannesburg.

Flights will depart from Lagos every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday at 11.50pm with arrival in 

Johannesburg at 6.50am in the morning. 



Return flights are offered each Monday, Wednesday and Friday, departing Johannesburg at   


9.15am and arrival at Lagos at 2.15pm. In addition to Johannesburg, Air Nigeria has   

commenced scheduled daily services to London-Gatwick.

The Johannesburg flights will be operated with a recently acquired modern Airbus A330-200 

aircraft in two class configurations of 24 Business seats and 244 Economy class seats. The 

aircraft is equipped with iPADs for entertainment in the business class cabin, making Air 

Nigeria one of the first African airlines to introduce this high-end in-flight service. 

Air Nigeria currently operates domestic and regional services to more than 15 destinations in 

Nigeria and the West and Central African region. 

Air Nigeria is represented in South Africa by Aviareps. For more information,
