Nigeria’s leading airline, Air Peace, has announced plans to commence direct flight operations from Lagos to Gatwick in London, with the inaugural flight scheduled for March 30, 2024.
The airline is to announce special students’ fare for students travelling for educational purposes to the United Kingdom.
Chairman and CEO of Air Peace, Dr Allen Onyema made this known recently in Lagos during a prelaunch forum organized by the airline, engaging travel agencies and partners involved in the upcoming London flight operations.
“Several parents have been disconnected from their children. Many students have not been home for over two years because their parents cannot afford return fares to London. Parents will no longer suffer to raise money for fares for their children because the student fares will be affordable for all parents.
“My children all schooled abroad and we insist that they return to Nigeria during their school breaks no matter how short. This is to enable us remain connected to our children and ensure they stick to our values and culture. I know this is also the desire of several other parents but this desire has been cut short because of high fares.
The Chief Operating Officer of Air Peace, Oluwatoyin Olajide, assured stakeholders that the London operations would be daily and conducted with Boeing 777 aircraft and Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, known for their modernity and efficiency.
Olajide emphasized the direct, non-stop nature of the flights, without layovers, and the airline’s commitment to providing unbeatable fares.
Air Peace Chairman, Allen Onyema, disclosed that the airline had received approval from the Federal Government, facilitated by the Federal Ministry of Aviation, for flights to New York, USA.
Onyema also declared a unified commission for all airline agents, regardless of size or status.
With commendations from industry leaders and associations for Air Peace’s nationalistic drive and dedication to the country, the airline is poised to connect Nigeria with London and further enhance its international presence.
