Air Peace Limited has revealed plans to commence direct international flight services from Abuja to both London Heathrow and Gatwick airports starting October 26, 2025.
With this move, the airline becomes the first Nigerian carrier to operate direct flights from the nation’s capital to London’s two major international hubs.
In a press release issued by the airline’s spokesperson, Efe Osifo-Whiskey, Air Peace confirmed its expanded network and the convenience it offers Nigerian travelers.
“Travellers originating from any of Air Peace’s domestic destinations across Nigeria can now book throughfares via Abuja to either Heathrow or Gatwick using a single ticket, eliminating the need for multiple bookings or baggage re-checks,” Osifo-Whiskey stated.
He also noted that the new route would benefit inbound passengers flying into Nigeria from the UK.
“Travellers from London can access multiple destinations across Nigeria using a single Air Peace ticket through Abuja every morning. These destinations are Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin, Warri, Owerri, Kano, Yola, Gombe, and Asaba, for now. Other destinations will be added later.”
Air Peace, which has consistently expanded its route network and challenged dominant players in the African aviation sector, described the new Abuja–London service as a continuation of its bold strategy.
“This latest offer, round-trip fares starting from just ₦1 million and unmatched domestic connectivity, is yet another bold step in democratising international air travel for Nigerians,” the airline said.
