What ACC to LOS looks like
The ACC to LOS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Accra ACC to Lagos LOS is a short sector of 401 km by great circle, flown nonstop 7.4 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 401 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 05m.
Accra ACC is a smaller airport in the network held here, 32 scheduled destinations and 67.9 departures a day. Lagos LOS has 40 destinations and 104.5 departures a day.
Lagos is one hour ahead of Accra all year.
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 ACC to LOS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACC to LOS | 7.43 | 52 | Africa World Airlines, Air Peace, Anisec, Business Aviation Asia |
| LOS to ACC | 7.14 | 50 | Africa World Airlines, Air Peace, Air Tanzania, Anisec, Business Aviation Asia |
5 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 7.4 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 102 departures a week on ACC 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 05m block time on ACC 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 ACC | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At ACC before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| ACC to LOS in the air, estimated | 65 min | 5h 35m |
| Formalities at LOS | 90 min | 7h 05m |
| Delivery run in Lagos | 45 min | 7h 50m |
| Door to door | 470 min | 7h 50m |
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 ACC to LOS is 7h 50m.
A courier who leaves Accra at 09:00 local is on the ground in Lagos at about 11:05 local and at the door by 13:20 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Lagos, the last useful departure from Accra is around 13:40 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. 19 of them join ACC to LOS.
| Connecting at | ACC to hub, flights a day | Hub to LOS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lome LFW | 3 | 1 | 402 | 2h 36m |
| Abidjan ABJ | 4 | 2.57 | 1,233 | 3h 39m |
| Abuja ABV | 2.29 | 26.14 | 1,413 | 3h 54m |
| Banjul BJL | 1.14 | 1.14 | 4,312 | 7h 30m |
| Casablanca CMN | 1.43 | 2.14 | 6,365 | 9h 55m |
| Nairobi NBO | 1 | 1.14 | 8,023 | 11h 40m |
With 7.4 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.
19 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Lome LFW, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through LFW the routing covers 402 km against the 401 km nonstop track and takes about 2h 36m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 31m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Abidjan ABJ at 3h 39m and Abuja ABV at 3h 54m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
The two ends are only 401 km apart in a straight line. Allowing a road track a quarter longer than that and eighty kilometres an hour, a car covers it in about 6h 16m, so a courier who misses the flight drives rather than connects, and on a short deadline the road is often the plan from the start.

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 ACC 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.
