West and Central Africa’s largest carrier, Air Peace Limited, has unveiled its highly anticipated Abuja–London Heathrow flights. These operations, commencing October 26, 2025, will redefine international travel from Nigeria’s capital.
According to a press release by Spokesperson Mr. Efe Osifo-Whiskey, the airline will now operate direct international flights from Abuja to both London Heathrow and London Gatwick. This move positions Air Peace as the first Nigerian carrier to provide such extensive UK connectivity from Abuja.
This major announcement is part of Air Peace’s continued strategic expansion. The Abuja–London Heathrow flights offer an unmatched level of convenience for international passengers. Travellers departing from any of the airline’s domestic destinations can book a seamless connection to either Heathrow or Gatwick.
They only need a single ticket for the entire journey. There is no need to recheck baggage or make multiple bookings, reducing stress and transit delays. This streamlined process makes Air Peace a serious contender for dominance on the Nigeria–UK corridor.
Passengers originating in London will also benefit. They can fly directly to multiple cities across Nigeria through Abuja, using one ticket. Cities currently covered include Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin, Warri, Owerri, Kano, Yola, Gombe, and Asaba. More destinations will be added in future phases.
This development provides significant benefits in terms of cost, time, and logistics. It also gives travellers flexibility in choosing different entry and exit points between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
Importantly, the carrier’s bold offer includes jaw-dropping round-trip fares starting from only ₦1 million. For many Nigerians, this fare sets a new affordability benchmark for premium international travel. The airline’s huge baggage allowance further sweetens the deal for both business and leisure travellers.
Air Peace has built a reputation for disrupting traditional aviation practices. From its Lagos–China, Lagos–South Africa, and Lagos–Jeddah routes, the airline has continually prioritized access, affordability, and reliability for African travellers.
The addition of Abuja–London Heathrow flights underscores this commitment. It strengthens Air Peace’s position as a leading intercontinental carrier, while promoting Abuja as a strong international hub.
Moreover, the airline’s domestic network enhances the appeal of this offering. With seamless connections from major Nigerian cities, international passengers no longer need to rely solely on Lagos for outbound global travel.
This initiative will also boost business, tourism, and diplomatic activity in Nigeria’s capital. Abuja now stands ready to serve as a reliable gateway for international travellers, especially with the increased connectivity to the UK.
Air Peace urges prospective passengers to book now via www.flyairpeace.com or through accredited travel agencies. As demand is expected to rise rapidly, early bookings are encouraged to secure these historically low fares.
The commencement of these Abuja–London Heathrow flights also aligns with Nigeria’s broader aviation goals. It supports national efforts to improve connectivity, deepen regional integration, and foster global competitiveness.
With this launch, Air Peace is making international air travel more affordable and accessible for all Nigerians. The airline remains committed to offering innovative and inclusive flight services across its expanding network.
In summary, the Abuja–London route offers:
– Direct flights to both Heathrow and Gatwick from Abuja
– Seamless domestic and international ticketing
– Starting fare of just ₦1 million
– Broad Nigerian city coverage through Abuja
– Increased convenience, comfort, and value
This bold step by Air Peace further consolidates its legacy as Nigeria’s aviation trailblazer—and a proud flagbearer of West Africa’s aviation excellence.
