Emirates and Air Peace activate bilateral interline agreement, enhance global connectivity

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 and with through-checked baggage, on select routes, resulting in greater travel comfort and convenience for customers, as per the statement. 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 product and services, and vast global network.

It 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 Lagos. With huge demand for travel between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, this provides the African airline passengers with increased choice and global reach.

Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer said, “Enhancing 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. We remain committed to working with strategic partners such as Air Peace to further strengthen Nigeria’s aviation, tourism and trade sectors.”

Nowel Ngala, Chief Commercial Officer, Air Peace, said, “This interline agreement with Emirates represents a major step in Air Peace’s strategic vision to connect Africa more efficiently to global markets. By combining our strong regional presence with Emirates’ extensive international network, we are delivering seamless connectivity, improved travel experience, and greater access to key global destinations for African travelers.”

Emirates operates a Boeing 777-300ER on its Dubai-Lagos route, offering passengers regionally inspired multi-course menus and over 6,500 channels of global entertainment and other content on ice, Emirates’ inflight entertainment system. 

With a fleet of aircraft including Boeing 777s, Boeing 737s, Embraers, Air Peace operates an expanding network of domestic, regional, and international services, connecting major cities across Africa and beyond.
