Air Peace has opened bookings for its 2026/2027 London winter schedule, delivering a major boost to Nigeria-UK connectivity. The new schedule gives passengers more options for travelling between Nigeria and London during the busy winter season. It includes daily Lagos-London Gatwick services and the full restoration of Abuja-London operations from October 2026. The move also gives travellers an opportunity to secure preferred dates and available fares before peak winter demand rises.
Schedule Adds 13 Weekly Gatwick Services
Under the new schedule, Air Peace will operate seven weekly Lagos-London Gatwick-Lagos flights. This means passengers travelling from Lagos will have a daily service throughout the winter period. In addition, the airline will operate three weekly Abuja-London Gatwick-Abuja services, bringing the combined Lagos and Abuja Gatwick frequency to 10 flights every week. The expanded schedule therefore provides greater flexibility for passengers travelling for business, leisure, family visits and seasonal commitments.
The airline will also restore its Abuja-London Heathrow operation, further expanding choices for passengers from Nigeria’s capital. Three weekly Abuja-London Heathrow-Abuja services will operate alongside the three weekly Gatwick flights, effective October 2026. Consequently, passengers from Abuja will have six weekly direct London services across Heathrow and Gatwick.
This brings the total schedule on all flights to 13. The restored operations represent an important development for travellers who prefer Heathrow’s location and connectivity.
Air Peace, Nigeria’s leading airline and the largest carrier in West and Central Africa, said the expanded schedule reflects its commitment to strengthening international connectivity. The increased frequencies should also make London travel more convenient for passengers connecting from other Nigerian cities. Travellers can connect through Lagos or Abuja on a single Air Peace itinerary, reducing the complications associated with separate domestic and international bookings.
The latest schedule comes as demand for international travel traditionally increases during the winter period. Early booking could therefore help passengers secure their preferred travel dates and access available fares before the peak season becomes more competitive. The airline is encouraging travellers to plan ahead rather than wait until closer to their intended departure dates.
Bookings for the 2026/2027 winter schedule are available through Air Peace’s official website, mobile application, accredited travel agencies and major global booking platforms. Passengers should check the applicable travel dates and flight times when making reservations because operating schedules can change.
For Nigerian aviation stakeholders, the expansion also highlights the growing importance of reliable international connectivity from both Lagos and Abuja. More direct services can provide passengers with additional choices while supporting business, tourism, family travel and wider economic links between Nigeria and the United Kingdom. The new schedule therefore gives the market a broader range of direct options ahead of the winter travel period.
The development follows Air Peace’s continued expansion of its international network. Its London operations have become a major part of the airline’s international offering, particularly for passengers seeking direct travel between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
With daily Lagos Gatwick flights, six weekly Abuja London services and 10 combined weekly Gatwick operations, the new schedule significantly increases passenger choice. For travellers planning winter trips to London, early booking could prove particularly valuable as demand builds towards the peak season.
