This site is also available on: Deutsch

Building on their existing partnership, Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, and Air Peace, West Africa’s largest airline, have signed a bilateral interline agreement. This will significantly expand air transport connections between Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and London.

The agreement allows passengers of both airlines to travel seamlessly with just one ticket and checked baggage on selected routes, thus providing more comfort and convenience.

More flight destinations thanks to interline agreements

In addition to the existing 13 destinations in Nigeria* available to Emirates passengers via the Air Peace network, the expanded interline agreement now also allows connections to Banjul (Gambia) and Dakar (Senegal) – both via Abidjan – as well as to Freetown (Sierra Leone) and Monrovia (Liberia) – both via Accra. These additional destinations provide even more travelers to Africa with access to Emirates’ world-class product, service, and global network.

The agreement allows Air Peace to connect its extensive route network in West and Central Africa to the Emirates hub in Dubai, as well as to key destinations such as London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London Stansted, Abidjan, Accra and Lagos. Given the high demand for travel between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, Air Peace passengers will benefit from greater choice, flexibility and global reach.

Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer of Emirates, stated: “Expanding our interline partnership with Air Peace allows us to grow our presence in more parts of Africa and create new opportunities to travel even better with Emirates. At the same time, we are helping international visitors discover the region via Lagos. We remain committed to working with strategic partners like Air Peace to further strengthen Nigeria’s aviation, tourism, and trade sectors.”

Nowel Ngala, Chief Commercial Officer of Air Peace, said: “This interline agreement with Emirates is a significant step in Air Peace’s strategic vision to connect Africa more efficiently with global markets. By combining our strong regional presence with Emirates’ extensive international network, we are creating seamless connectivity, an enhanced travel experience, and expanded access to key global destinations for African travelers. The partnership also underscores Air Peace’s role as a vital bridge between Africa and the global air transport system.”
