Air Sierra Leone has launched direct connectivity between London and Lagos via Freetown, introducing a competitive $950 return fare for travelers.
The airline confirmed that the new service will operate with minimal connection times in Freetown.
According to the carrier, passengers will enjoy smooth transfers comparable to global airlines that rely on major hubs for regional and international connections.
With the new schedule, passengers from London can now travel seamlessly to Lagos through Freetown.
Likewise, travelers departing Lagos will have access to onward connections into London at the same hub, creating flexible travel options at an attractive introductory fare.
A spokesperson for Air Sierra Leone explained that the launch is part of a wider strategy to improve regional access.
The carrier aims to provide competitive alternatives to established European and Middle Eastern operators, while enhancing its own position as a rising West African hub.
In a statement, the airline said:
“This connectivity offers affordable convenience, allowing travelers to experience smooth transfers through Freetown, much like they would when transiting through global hubs.”
Industry analysts say the development is a timely boost to West Africa’s aviation landscape.
They note that Air Sierra Leone’s entry into the London–Lagos market could stimulate traffic, strengthen commercial ties, and enhance Sierra Leone’s reputation as an emerging transit gateway.
Travelers are encouraged to take advantage of the limited-time $950 return fare. The airline noted that bookings are available through its official website, www.flysierraLeone.com, as well as accredited travel agencies and ticket sales platforms.
This expansion underlines the carrier’s ambition to challenge established market leaders and attract passengers seeking cost-effective yet convenient travel between West Africa and the United Kingdom.
