Dana Air added a second daily frequency on its Lagos-Port Harcourt route on 4 May 2016, citing steady demand from business travellers on one of its more consistently performing domestic corridors.

Meeting Same-Day Travel Demand

The additional frequency gave passengers more flexibility for same-day return trips between the two cities, a segment the airline said had grown as more Lagos-based companies expanded operations into the Niger Delta region.

A Steady Performer Amid Wider Pressure

The route's expansion came even as several Nigerian carriers scaled back schedules elsewhere amid broader economic pressures, with Dana Air describing Port Harcourt as one of its most reliably performing routes.
