Air Peace is set to make history as the first Nigerian airline to operate direct flights from Abuja to both of London’s major international airports, Heathrow and Gatwick, starting October 26, 2025.
In a statement issued by the airline’s spokesperson, Efe Osifo-Whiskey, Air Peace confirmed that passengers traveling from any of its domestic destinations in Nigeria can now enjoy seamless connections via Abuja to either Heathrow or Gatwick using a single ticket. This eliminates the hassle of multiple bookings and baggage re-checks.
“Travellers departing from London can also access numerous destinations across Nigeria every morning through Air Peace’s extensive domestic network. These destinations include Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin, Warri, Owerri, Kano, Yola, Gombe, and Asaba, with plans to add more cities soon,” Osifo-Whiskey explained.
Air Peace, known for challenging norms and pioneering new routes in African aviation, emphasized that the Abuja–London route represents a significant step in its mission to enhance international connectivity.
