Emirates and Air Peace team up to boost Nigeria travel options

@DXBMediaOffice/ X

Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, has signed an interline agreement with West Africa’s largest carrier, Air Peace, enhancing connectivity for passengers travelling to and from Nigeria.

The partnership expands Emirates’ footprint to 13 new cities in Nigeria with frictionless single-ticket travel and simplified baggage throughout.

Travellers booked on flights from Dubai to Lagos can access more of Nigeria, with onward connections to Asaba, Akure, Benin City, Calabar, Enugu, Ilorin, Kaduna and Owerri.

The interline agreement will also benefit corporate travellers, connecting to additional cities in one of Africa’s major economic hubs, including its capital city Abuja, Kano, Uyo, Port Harcourt and Warri, further supporting the strong bilateral trade relationship between Nigeria and the UAE.

Emirates’ Dubai-Lagos route is operated with a Boeing 777-300ER, and as one of only two airlines operating First Class into Lagos.

Air Peace, Nigeria’s leading airline, provides seamless connections domestically and internationally, via a fleet of aircraft, comprised of Airbus 320s, Boeing 737s, Boeing 777s, Dornier 328-300 Jets, Embraer 145s, and Embraer 195-E2s.

In Africa, Emirates' footprint expands to over 223 regional points through 5 codeshare and 19 interline partners, providing better connection opportunities to both holiday destinations and emerging economic centres on the continent.
