Air Peace’s London Flights Force Airlines to Slash Fares
The aviation industry has witnessed a significant development with Air Peace Limited’s direct flight from Abuja to London Heathrow. The airline’s boss, Allen Onyema, believes President Tinubu’s intervention played a crucial role in forcing foreign airlines to reduce their ticket prices drastically.
According to Onyema, prices have come down significantly, with fares from Abuja to Heathrow reduced from $13,000 to $3,000. This reduction has made flying more affordable for Nigerians and even attracted British passengers who are happy with the increased competition.

Air Peace now operates 14 weekly flights between Nigeria and the UK, covering both Lagos-London Gatwick and Abuja-London Heathrow routes. This milestone marks a significant achievement for Nigeria’s aviation industry and opens up new opportunities for travelers.
The increased competition has benefited travelers in several ways:
Foreign airlines have been forced to review their prices, making flying more affordable for everyone.
Air Peace’s direct flights provide travelers with more options for flying to and from Nigeria.
The airline’s routes offer connections to America, Canada, Asia, and other parts of Europe, making it easier for passengers to reach their destinations.
Onyema’s comments highlight the importance of the private sector in driving growth and innovation. He praised President Tinubu’s intervention, saying it has created a more competitive and favorable environment for businesses to thrive.
The success of Air Peace’s London flights is a testament to the potential of Nigerian businesses to excel on the global stage. As the aviation industry continues to evolve, it will be exciting to see how Air Peace and other Nigerian airlines innovate and grow.
