The federal government has announced its approval for Air Peace to initiate flights from Abuja to London.

This follows the airline's recent introduction of direct flights from Lagos to London's Gatwick Airport on March 30, 2024.

The Minister of Aviation emphasized that Gatwick Airport serves as a starting point for the airline, with Heathrow Airport being the ultimate target.

In a statement, Minister Keyamo revealed that he granted authorization for Air Peace to extend its London route to include Abuja on April 24.

He emphasized the significance of this decision by noting that British Airways also operates flights to Abuja, and allowing Air Peace to compete benefits Nigerian travelers.

Addressing concerns about Heathrow Airport, Minister Keyamo explained that while the British government has been hesitant to permit operations there, the federal government has agreed to commence operations at Gatwick Airport.

However, he stressed that Heathrow Airport should be the preferred destination for Air Peace and other Nigerian airlines.

Minister Keyamo underscored that Gatwick Airport is viewed as a starting point and a relatively accessible opportunity.

He mentioned that his decisions regarding airport choices would be guided by a review of the bilateral air service agreement between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

It's worth noting that Air Peace initiated its direct flights from Lagos to London's Gatwick Airport on March 30, 2024.

The airline offers economy class tickets for the London route at N1.2 million and business class tickets at N4 million.

Stanley Olisa, the airline's spokesperson, confirmed the ticket prices and availability for London services, which commenced on March 30, 2024.

They way these people reason is so annoying,just because their junky brother with stolen mandate became the president of Nigeria,it gives them the feelings that anything Nigerians from other regions get or do,is a priveiedge and not their right. Air Peace should be praised for putting Nigeria in the world map of nations with credible Airlines more like a national Airline that APC scammed Nigeria of,in the last government.
