reduced noise level, is configured to carry 70 passengers in its Business Flyer seats and offers easy
aisle access to every seat.

to our fleet enables Overland Airways to provide a high level of on-board
comfort to our customers. It increases our seat capacity while ensuring that we
can extend our services to new locations in Nigeria. We are proud to be the
first airline in Nigeria
to operate this modern aircraft type.”
“The delivery of the ATR
72 marks another milestone for Overland Airways as we celebrate our 10 years of
offering excellent air services in Nigeria. It shows our commitment to
continuously upgrade our fleet in line with the expectations of our discerning
customers and satisfy our growing market. This new addition to our ATR family
of aircraft will further our leadership and presence in the Nigerian airline
industry” said Capt. Boyo.
