Building on their existing partnership, Emirates and Air Peace, West Africa’s airline, have activated a bilateral interline agreement, expanding air connectivity between Africa, the UAE, and London.
The agreement offers
passengers of both airlines frictionless, single-ticket travel and with
through-checked baggage, on select routes, resulting in greater travel comfort
and convenience for customers.
Beyond the 13 cities
in Nigeria already available for Emirates passengers on Air Peace’s network,
the enhanced interline agreement now enables travellers to connect with Banjul
in Gambia and Dakar in Senegal, both via Abidjan; and with Freetown in Sierra
Leone and Monrovia in Liberia, both via Accra.
The additional
gateways allow more passengers in Africa to access Emirates world-class product
and services, and vast global network.
The agreement allows
Air Peace to connect its extensive West and Central African route
system into Emirates’ hub in Dubai, and on key destinations including
London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London Stansted, Abidjan, Accra and, of
course, Lagos. With huge demand for travel between Nigeria and the United
Kingdom, providing Air Peace passengers with increased choice, flexibility, and
global reach.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’
Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer said, “Enhancing our
interline partnership with Air Peace allows us to expand our footprint across
more of Africa, creating new opportunities for people to fly better with
Emirates, while helping international tourists explore more of the region, via
Lagos. We remain committed to working with strategic partners such as Air Peace
to further strengthen Nigeria’s aviation, tourism and trade sectors.”
Nowel Ngala, Chief Commercial Officer, Air Peace, said: “This interline agreement with Emirates represents a major step in Air Peace’s strategic vision to connect Africa more efficiently to global markets. By combining our strong regional presence with Emirates’ extensive international network, we are delivering seamless connectivity, improved travel experience, and greater access to key global destinations for African travellers. This partnership further reinforces Air Peace’s role as a critical bridge between Africa and the global aviation ecosystem.”
