Air Peace has launched direct flights from Abuja to London’s Heathrow and Gatwick airports, starting October 26, 2025, marking a significant milestone in Nigeria’s aviation history. This makes Air Peace the first Nigerian airline to operate direct flights from the nation’s capital to both of London’s major airports.
The flights will offer greater flexibility, convenience, and value for Nigerians and the diaspora, with round-trip fares starting from ₦1 million. Passengers will enjoy generous baggage allowances and seamless domestic connections from major Nigerian cities through Abuja. Travellers from London can also now connect to key Nigerian destinations, including Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin, Warri, Owerri, Kano, Yola, Gombe, and Asaba, using a single ticket.
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, commended Air Peace for this achievement, stating that the Federal Government is committed to supporting local airline operators. Keyamo emphasized that the government’s clear mandate is to ensure local carriers thrive and survive, and they will continue to provide the necessary support and environment for them to grow sustainably.
To celebrate the launch, Air Peace is partnering with Mainland BlockParty (MBP) for its London edition, ‘Last Daze of Summer’, happening on October 26, 2025, at LDN East. Event attendees will have a chance to win a return ticket from London to Abuja this December.
