Value Jet to Commence Flights at Gateway International Airport October 7
Excitement is mounting as Value Jet Airlines prepares to commence passenger operations at the newly approved Gateway International Airport (GWI), Ilisan-Remo, Ogun State, on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
The airline will operate two weekly flights—on Tuesdays and Thursdays—linking Ogun State directly with the nation’s capital, Abuja.
According to the schedule released, the GWI–Abuja flight will depart Ilisan-Remo at 8:30 a.m. and arrive in Abuja at 9:45 a.m.. The return leg will leave the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 4:00 p.m. and land at GWI by 5:15 p.m.
Ticket sales open on Thursday, September 25, and will be accessible online, through travel agents, and at Value Jet’s ticket desks within the airport.
The development is expected to boost air connectivity for travellers in Ogun State, Ibadan, Lagos, and Abuja, offering them the convenience of a modern aviation hub. Business leaders, industrialists, contractors, bankers, government officials, and leisure travellers are said to be particularly eager to take advantage of the new service, citing easier access to Lagos and other parts of the country.
The Gateway International Airport, recently certified fit for operations by regulatory agencies, is regarded as a major infrastructure milestone for Ogun State.
