Private Jet Charter from Lagos
Lagos is West Africa's largest private-aviation market and operationally the most complex on the continent: traffic is concentrated at Murtala Muhammed International (LOS) where dedicated GA facilities at Hangar 5 and the Presidential Wing handle corporate charter. Demand is anchored by the oil-and-gas sector (international majors operating from Lagos for offshore Niger Delta access), Nigerian banking and conglomerate corporate flying (Dangote, Tony Elumelu's UBA/Heirs ecosystem), and a substantial Lagos-to-London family-and-business corridor. Pan-African flying (Accra, Abidjan, Dakar, Johannesburg) anchors the regional pattern.
