After crashing Lagos to London airfares, Air Peace releases two-year availability schedule

Nigeria’s largest carrier, Air Peace, has announced that it will extend its schedule availability for the Lagos-London route until March 2025.

The airline commenced the Lagos-London route on March 30, 2024, and has gained popularity among business and leisure travelers.

Air Peace said:

“We are thrilled to inform the general public and our esteemed customers that they can now book flights up to March 2025 on our London route.

According to the airline, the availability aims to provide more options and convenience, which stresses the company’s commitment to delivering excellent service.

The development comes after Gatwick Airport said it did not discriminate against the Nigerian airline in allotting slots for peak periods, including October to December.

Air Peace Chairman Allen Onyema alleged that the airline had not begun selling tickets for those periods because the Gatwick Airport had not started selling Lagos to London tickets for those dates, and the airport authorities were delaying granting the airline slots to operate in those periods.

Gatwick Airport refutes Air Peace allegations

According to a BusinessDay report, Gatwick Airport denied the airline’s chairman's allegation, saying that it has not allocated slots to any airline for those dates.

The announcement by Air Peace allows Nigerian passengers to connect to London from all Air Peace domestic destinations and London passengers to connect to various locations in Nigeria through Lagos.

Air Peace is a leading Nigerian airline with a network of 21 domestic routes, 10 regional routes, and seven international destinations.

UK aviation authorities accuse Air Peace of violations

The development comes after the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) has written to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), saying that Nigeria’s largest carrier, Air Peace, has allegedly violated some aviation safety regulations.

Two compulsory outcome reports on Air Peace have been reportedly sent to the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority.

According to reports, the UK regulator, the UK CAA, forwarded the complaints to the NCAA.
