Air Peace increases Lagos-London route capacity over rising demand

Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, has announced an increase in capacity for its Lagos-London route in response to surging demands.

This announcement was made via the airline’s official Facebook account on Wednesday.

According to the statement, with more seats now available, travellers interested in flying to London with Air Peace have additional options to choose from.

The statement read, “Due to overwhelming demand and interest in our London route, we have decided to increase the capacity on the route. This means that more seats are now available.

“Air Peace would like to thank the Nigerian population, both in Nigeria and in the United Kingdom, for their support. We do not take it for granted, and we will be doing our best to continue to make the whole country proud.”

Gentechnews had earlier reported that the airline conducted its inaugural flight to London with 260 passengers aboard a Boeing 777, which has a capacity of 274 seats, on Saturday. The route, it said will be served daily from Lagos.

The move currently has disrupted market dynamics, prompting foreign airlines that previously enjoyed exclusivity on the route to reevaluate their pricing strategies.

The Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, disclosed that tickets for Lagos-London flights with his company were sold out until September.
