IN a significant milestone for Nigerian aviation, Air Peace has announced the commencement of direct flights from Abuja to both London Heathrow and London Gatwick airports, starting October 26, 2025.
According to a statement issued by the airline’s spokesperson, Efe Osifo-Whiskey, the development makes Air Peace the first Nigerian airline to operate direct international flights from the nation’s capital to both of London’s main airports.
The new service will allow passengers flying from any of Air Peace’s domestic routes to seamlessly connect through Abuja to either Heathrow or Gatwick using a single ticket—eliminating the hassle of rebooking or rechecking baggage.
“For travellers arriving from London, the new routes offer easy access to key Nigerian cities including Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin, Warri, Owerri, Kano, Yola, Gombe, and Asaba—all via a single Air Peace ticket through Abuja,” Osifo-Whiskey explained, adding that more destinations would be integrated over time.
The airline emphasized its continued role in reshaping African aviation, noting that the Abuja–London flights are part of its broader mission to democratize international travel for Nigerians. Round-trip fares are now available, starting from just ₦1 million.
This expansion follows Air Peace’s reputation for introducing bold and strategic routes across the continent, as it positions itself as a leader in Nigeria’s commercial aviation sector.
