How to Book Travel on Chanchangi Airlines

As Nigeria's largest airline, Chanchangi Airlines is relatively organized and well-equipped for air travel within and outside of Nigeria. The airline's fleet features four Boeing 727s and six Boeing 737s and continues to expand. Their competitive prices have contributed to the airline's continued popularity. However, a much-acclaimed new route from Lagos to Accra, Ghana was suspended in late 2006.
