LAGOS – Emirates has signed an interline agreement with Air Peace, which would enhance the connectivity of its passengers travelling to and from Nigeria.
This agreement increased Emirates’ footprint to 13 new cities in Nigeria with frictionless single-ticket travel and simplified baggage throughput, a statement by its media consultant in Nigeria said.
The statement hinted that travellers booked on flights from Dubai to Lagos can access more of Nigeria, with onward connections to Asaba, Akure, Benin City, Calabar, Enugu, Ilorin, Kaduna and Owerri.
The statement added that the interline agreement would also benefit corporate travellers, connecting to additional cities in one of Africa’s major economic hubs, including its capital city Abuja, Kano, Uyo, Port Harcourt and Warri, thereby further supporting the strong bilateral trade relationship between Nigeria and the UAE.
The statement quoted Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President as saying that the airline was a steadfast partner of Nigeria’s tourism, trade and aviation sectors.
Kazim emphasised that this partnership with Air Peace was the next step on this journey, “bolstering our connectivity and introducing more travel options for corporate leisure, and travellers visiting friends and family to and from Nigeria.
“We look forward to deepening our strategic partnership with Air Peace in the future to enhance the benefits for our mutual customers,” he added.
Also, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olajide, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Air Peace, expressed delight about this strategic interline partnership between the airline and Emirates.
She reiterated that this was a significant step towards enhancing global connectivity for Nigerian travellers, adding that it also aligned with Air Peace’s mission to provide seamless, world-class travel experiences while expanding its route network and international reach.
She added: “This collaboration not only expands Air Peace’s international reach but also offers Nigerians arriving from Dubai seamless access to key domestic destinations, including Asaba, Akure, Benin City, Calabar, Enugu, Ilorin, Kaduna, and Owerri.
“By improving ease of travel, we are boosting business, tourism, and trade opportunities, further strengthening economic ties between Nigeria and the UAE. This partnership also reinforces Nigeria’s aviation sector by enhancing connectivity, efficiency and positioning our country as a critical hub for regional and global travel.”
She maintained that Air Peace remained committed to providing greater connectivity, convenience and world-class service for its passengers.
Emirates’ Dubai-Lagos route is operated with a Boeing 777-300ER, offering the best experience in the sky.
As one of only two airlines operating first class into Lagos, the partnership enables more travellers from Nigeria to experience Emirates’ touches.
Also, Air Peace provides seamless connections domestically and internationally, via a fleet of aircraft, comprised of Airbus 320s, Boeing 737s, Boeing 777s, Dornier 328-300 Jets, Embraer 145s, and Embraer 195-E2s.
