According to the airline, the availability aims to provide more options and convenience, which stresses the company’s commitment to delivering excellent service.

The development comes after Gatwick Airport said it did not discriminate against the Nigerian airline in allotting slots for peak periods, including October to December.

Air Peace Chairman Allen Onyema alleged that the airline had not begun selling tickets for those periods because the Gatwick Airport had not started selling Lagos to London tickets for those dates, and the airport authorities were delaying granting the airline slots to operate in those periods.

Gatwick Airport refutes Air Peace allegations

According to a BusinessDay report, Gatwick Airport denied the airline’s chairman’s allegation, saying that it has not allocated slots to any airline for those dates.

The announcement by Air Peace allows Nigerian passengers to connect to London from all Air Peace domestic destinations and London passengers to connect to various locations in Nigeria through Lagos.
