“This anniversary is a testament to our commitment to providing world-class services to Nigerians and travellers across the globe. We appreciate our passengers and will continue to enhance their travel experience with top-tier services and rewards,” he said.
Since its launch in 2024, the Lagos-London route has quickly become a preferred choice for travellers between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, offering affordable, seamless, and high-quality service.
Digital TimesNG reports that the airline has operated over 662 flights on this route, transporting more than 136,661 passengers—a testament to its efficiency and customer trust.
Air Peace’s success on the transcontinental route has been driven by its competitive fares, exceptional on-board service, and the deployment of state-of-the-art Boeing 777 aircraft, which provide passengers with a comfortable and premium travel experience.
Over the past year, the airline has also introduced several customer-centric initiatives to further enhance passenger convenience.
One of these initiatives includes a generous luggage allowance, allowing travellers to carry more without incurring extra costs. The airline has also streamlined airport transfers to improve passenger experience and reduce transit times.
Additionally, Air Peace has partnered with SIMPLAA UK to offer premium limousine services, including a 10% discount on transfers from Gatwick Airport.
Understanding the financial constraints of student travellers, the airline has introduced a 15% discount on economy-class tickets for students flying between Nigeria and London, making travel more accessible.
Furthermore, collaborations with brands such as Samsung have enabled Air Peace to offer exclusive rewards, including the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2, enhancing passenger engagement and satisfaction.
Beyond customer benefits, Air Peace’s presence on the Lagos-London route has significantly impacted the Nigerian aviation industry.
The airline’s operations have contributed to job creation in aviation and related sectors, supported business and tourism growth, and reduced Nigeria’s reliance on foreign carriers.
By fostering healthy competition in the market, Air Peace has played a role in improving airfare affordability and service quality, ultimately benefiting travellers.
As the airline celebrates this landmark achievement, it remains steadfast in its mission to provide superior service, uphold safety standards, and ensure customer satisfaction.
With a vision for further expansion and innovation, Air Peace continues to redefine international air travel for Nigerians and the global community.
