A Central African carrier, Cameroon Airlines Corporation, Camair-Co has resumed flight operations to Lagos, Nigeria.
The resumed flight commenced on June 23, 2018 when an aircraft operated by the Cameroonian flag carrier arrived Lagos from Douala after some years of absence on the route.

“Today we are witnessing together a new benchmark, a new landmark between Nigeria and Cameroon.” He said.
Dong added that the presence of Camair-Co in Nigeria would further enhance the relationship between the two countries, “this will boost the trade, commercial and social-cultural events between our countries.”
Camair-Co Nigeria Country Manager, Madam Agnes Ndikum who reinstated the determination of the airline to continuously serve the Lagos-Doula route said,”Camair-Co is finally here to stay and provide quality air travel between Nigeria and Cameroon. We appreciate the efforts of APG Nigeria, our General Sales Agent (GSA) for their continuous support in making this relaunch of the Lagos-Doula route a reality.”.
Also speaking at the occasion, APG Nigeria General Manager, Camair-Co GSA, Chike Ohiagu said, “the airline is here to stay. We are determined to make sure the airline seats are full and profitable.”
In his statement on the re-launched operations to Nigeria, the aircraft pilot, Captain Kono Bihina Constant, mentioned that he is delighted to return to Nigeria after a long while. According to Bihina Constant, “We haven’t flown into Nigeria for a long time. Nigeria is so advanced when it comes to aviation, and we are very pleased to be back here.
