Building on their existing partnership, Emirates and Air Peace 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 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 the huge demand for travel between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, Air Peace passengers have increased choice, flexibility, and global reach.

This partnership further reinforces Air Peace’s role as a critical bridge between Africa and the global aviation ecosystem.”
