Air Peace set to launch direct flights to Heathrow, Gatwick from Abuja, October 26

 

Nigeria’s flag carrier airline, Air Peace, has concluded plans to launch direct international flight services from Abuja to both London Heathrow and London Gatwick Airports on October 26, 2025.

This expansion marks a significant milestone in Air Peace’s ongoing commitment to providing world-class connectivity and superior service between Nigeria and the United Kingdom. The new services will be operated with the airline’s wide-body Boeing 777 aircraft.

What sets this new service apart is its unique connectivity model, designed to provide passengers with maximum flexibility and seamless travel options. Travellers originating from any of Air Peace’s domestic destinations across Nigeria can now book through fares via Abuja to either Heathrow or Gatwick using a single ticket, eliminating the need for multiple bookings or baggage re-checks.

Similarly, travellers from London can access multiple entry points across Nigeria, including Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Owerri, Kano, Asaba, and others, all connected through Air Peace’s robust Abuja hub.

According to the airline, this integrated product offering provides a distinct competitive advantage, enabling passengers to travel between Nigeria and the United Kingdom with greater ease, efficiency, and value. The flexibility of choosing multiple cities as entry and exit points enhances the travel experience, offering passengers convenient access across Nigeria and the UK.

“We are thrilled to launch these direct services from Abuja to Heathrow and Gatwick, which reflects our dedication to expanding international access for our valued customers,” said Allen Onyema, Chairman of Air Peace. “Our goal has always been to democratize air travel for Nigerians while showcasing our capacity to compete globally with a product that speaks to quality, reliability, and affordability.

Spokesman for the airline, Mr. Efe Osifo-Whisky, said with a proven track record of challenging the status quo and pioneering transformative routes in African aviation, Air Peace continues to raise the bar with the announcement of the Abuja–London service.

This latest offer, round-trip fares starting from just N1 Million and unmatched domestic connectivity, is yet another bold step in democratising international air travel for Nigerians.
