Nigeria’s flag carrier, Air Peace, is celebrating its 11th anniversary with the launch of new Abuja-London Heathrow and Abuja-London Gatwick routes starting October 26, 2025. The addition expands the airline’s UK network to three destinations, complementing its Lagos-London Gatwick service.
The move follows the August arrival of a Boeing 777-200ER, increasing its wide-body fleet to four and strengthening its position in the competitive London market.
Since its founding in 2014 with seven aircraft, Air Peace has grown to over 38 aircraft serving 20 domestic and 10 regional and international destinations.
The airline also plans direct flights from Lagos to São Paulo, Brazil, and to Antigua and Barbuda from December 21.
Chairman/CEO Allen Ifechukwu Onyema said the new Lagos-Brazil route will cut travel time to seven and a half hours.
Air Peace, known for its evacuation missions and COVID-19 humanitarian flights, recently launched a Graduate Trainee Programme to create 1,000 jobs for Nigerian youths.
With consistent expansion and commitment to national service, Air Peace continues to stand out as a symbol of resilience in Nigeria’s aviation sector.
