Arik Air, West and Central Africa’s largest airline, has increased frequency on the Lagos to Douala via Cotonou route from four to six weekly flights.

The new schedule is aimed at further enhancing connectivity in the West Coast.

The flights from Lagos to Douala via Cotonou and back will operate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Outbound flights from Lagos will depart at 11:15, arrive Cotonou at 11:45, depart Cotonou at 12:30 and arrive Douala at 14:00.

Inbound flights will depart Douala at 14:45, arrive Cotonou at 16:15, leave Cotonou at 17:00 and arrive Lagos at 17:30.

The new schedule allows passengers to conveniently connect to these destinations with the advantage Arik Air’s extensive domestic and regional network provides.

 

It also provides convenient connections to some of the airline’s international destinations such as New York.

Commenting on the new schedule, managing director of Arik Air, Chris Ndulue said: “Nigeria and Cameroun share a lot in common as good neighbours and 
Arik Air is always happy to provide connections needed to foster closer relationships and promote trade.”

Arik Air is the only airline flying six times a week from Lagos to Douala via Cotonou and vice versa.
