Nigeria's Air Peace is set to commence flights to London Heathrow, marking its entry into Europe's busiest airport. Although tickets are not yet available for booking, the airline has listed flights from Abuja on its platform. Due to limited slots at Heathrow, Air Peace will also initiate flights from Abuja to London Gatwick Airport, complementing its existing Gatwick-Lagos service that began in March 2024.
In 2024, the London-Abuja route saw 140,000 round-trip passengers, with most flying via Heathrow. The route is notable for high yields, driven by strong demand for premium cabins and government travel. The average fare for all passengers and cabins between Heathrow and Abuja was $1,161 each way.
Air Peace's inaugural flight to Heathrow is scheduled for October 26 and will operate three times weekly using a Boeing 777-200ER. This new service will join British Airways' daily first-class-equipped service on the same route. Both airlines offer overnight flights back to Abuja.
