Building on their existing partnership, Emirates, the world\u2019s largest international airline, and Air Peace, West Africa\u2019s largest airline, have activated a bilateral interline agreement, expanding air connectivity between Africa, the UAE, and London.<\/p>\n

The agreement offers passengers of both airlines frictionless, single-ticket travel with through-checked baggage on select routes, resulting in greater convenience and comfort for customers.<\/p>\n

Beyond the 13 cities in Nigeria* already available to Emirates passengers on Air Peace\u2019s network, the enhanced interline agreement now enables travellers to connect to Banjul in Gambia and Dakar in Senegal, both via Abidjan, and to Freetown in Sierra Leone and Monrovia in Liberia, both via Accra. <\/p>\n

The additional gateways allow more passengers in Africa to access Emirates\u2019 world-class products and services and its vast global network.<\/p>\n

The agreement allows Air Peace to connect its extensive West and Central African route system\u00a0to Emirates\u2019 hub in Dubai, and to key destinations including London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London Stansted, Abidjan, Accra, and, of course, Lagos. <\/p>\n

With high demand for travel between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, Air Peace is providing passengers with greater choice, flexibility, and global reach.<\/p>\n

Adnan Kazim, Emirates\u2019 Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer,\u00a0said, \u201cEnhancing 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. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain committed to working with strategic partners such as Air Peace to further strengthen Nigeria\u2019s aviation, tourism and trade sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nowel Ngala,\u00a0Chief Commercial Officer, Air Peace<\/strong>, said: \u201cThis interline agreement with Emirates represents a major step in Air Peace\u2019s strategic vision to connect Africa more efficiently to global markets. By combining our strong regional presence with Emirates\u2019 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\u2019s role as a critical bridge between Africa and the global aviation ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emirates operates a Boeing 777-300ER on its Dubai-Lagos route, providing travellers with one of the best experiences in the sky. <\/p>\n

Passengers can dine on regionally inspired multi-course menus developed by a team of award-winning chefs, complemented by a wide selection of premium beverages, while tuning in to over 6,500 channels of global entertainment \u2013 including Nollywood classics \u2013 on\u00a0ice<\/em>, Emirates\u2019 award-winning inflight entertainment system.\u00a0As one of only two airlines operating a First Class cabin into Nigeria, Emirates offers an unrivalled travel experience defined by comfort, privacy and luxurious touches.<\/p>\n
