Nigeria’s biggest carrier, Air Peace Limited, has announced plan to commence direct international flight services from Abuja to London Heathrow and Gatwick airports.

The airline, in a statement by its spokesperson, Efe Osifo-Whiskey on Manday said the flight services will commence on October 26, 2025.

The airline said this will make it the first Nigerian carrier to offer direct services from Abuja to both of London’s major international airports.

“Travellers originating from any of Air Peace’s domestic destinations across Nigeria can now book thoroughfares via Abuja to either Heathrow or Gatwick using a single ticket, eliminating the need for multiple bookings or baggage re-checks.

“Travellers from London can access multiple destinations across Nigeria using a single Air Peace ticket through Abuja every morning. These destinations are Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin, Warri, Owerri, Kano, Yola, Gombe, and Asaba, for now. Other destinations will be added later,” Osifo-Whiskey stated.

Air Peace said that with a proven track record of challenging the status quo and pioneering transformative routes in African aviation, it continued to raise the bar with the announcement of the Abuja–London service.

“This latest offer, round-trip fares starting from just ₦1 million and unmatched domestic connectivity, is yet another bold step in democratizing international air travel for Nigerians,” the airline said.

The fare went live on Sunday, starting from ₦1 million per round trip.
