Abuja is an origin city for us rather than a venue market, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. What we run here is the aircraft, the ground and the discretion around both — and the trip waiting at the other end.
Tables and restaurants
We do not publish a venue list for Abuja because we do not hold one. Restaurant and private-venue access in the city is arranged through direct relationships, case by case: tell us the night and the party and we come back with what is genuinely available, or tell you honestly that Lagos or London is the better evening.
Where to stay
The hotels do the work in Abuja — Maitama and the Central Business District hold the international houses, and a suite with a proper business floor is usually the right answer for a working trip. For a longer stay or a family, serviced houses in Maitama and Asokoro are arranged with staff. See villas & chalets for how we source and what a week actually costs.
Getting there and moving around
Nnamdi Azikiwe takes private traffic through its general-aviation terminal, thirty kilometres west of the city. Abuja–London is about 6h 30m and Abuja–Dubai about 6h 40m, both nonstop; Lagos–Abuja is about 1h 10m and the most-flown charter corridor in the country. We book Nigerian legs through operators holding a valid Air Operator Certificate, arrange chauffeured cars on both ends, and plan close protection before you land rather than on the day. See private jets to Abuja.
Season and timing
Year-round, with December the peak as the diaspora returns and the fleet repositions toward Lagos. Six to eight weeks’ notice on aircraft for that window. Outside it, most Abuja requests are answered the same day.
