What ABV to LOS looks like
The ABV to LOS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Abuja ABV to Lagos LOS is a short sector of 511 km by great circle, flown nonstop 26.1 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 511 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 15m.
Abuja ABV is a smaller airport in the network held here, 29 scheduled destinations and 87.8 departures a day. Lagos LOS has 40 destinations and 104.5 departures a day.
Abuja and Lagos keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside Africa, a corridor the written lanes do not cover, which is the reason a computed page for it exists at all.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on ABV to LOS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABV to LOS | 26.14 | 183 | Air Peace, Anisec, Business Aviation Asia, Eurowings, Green Africa Airways, Real Tonga |
| LOS to ABV | 25.43 | 178 | Air Peace, Anisec, Business Aviation Asia, Eurowings, Green Africa Airways, Real Tonga |
6 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 26.1 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 361 departures a week on ABV to LOS, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 1h 15m block time on ABV to LOS. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to ABV | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At ABV before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| ABV to LOS in the air, estimated | 75 min | 5h 45m |
| Formalities at LOS | 90 min | 7h 15m |
| Delivery run in Lagos | 45 min | 8h 00m |
| Door to door | 480 min | 8h 00m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for ABV to LOS is 8h 00m.
A courier who leaves Abuja at 09:00 local is on the ground in Lagos at about 10:15 local and at the door by 12:30 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Lagos, the last useful departure from Abuja is around 14:30 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 14 of them join ABV to LOS.
| Connecting at | ABV to hub, flights a day | Hub to LOS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Port Harcourt PHC | 8.71 | 10.29 | 882 | 3h 18m |
| Lome LFW | 1.29 | 1 | 967 | 3h 26m |
| Kano KAN | 6.14 | 4 | 1,199 | 3h 36m |
| Accra ACC | 2.29 | 7.43 | 1,303 | 3h 44m |
| Douala DLA | 0.71 | 0.57 | 1,383 | 4h 02m |
| Casablanca CMN | 1.14 | 2.14 | 6,291 | 9h 50m |
With 26.1 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
14 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Port Harcourt PHC, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 8.7 times a day.
Through PHC the routing covers 882 km against the 511 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 18m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 03m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Lome LFW at 3h 26m and Kano KAN at 3h 36m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for ABV to LOS in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
