Air Peace, Turkish airlines sign pact to boost Nigeria’s global connectivity

In a significant development for Nigeria's aviation sector, Air Peace and Turkish Airlines have inked a Special Prorate Agreement designed to bolster connectivity between Nigeria, Africa, and the rest of the world. This strategic partnership, announced on Sunday in Lagos, promises to streamline travel for passengers by offering single-ticket journeys, synchronized flight schedules, and simplified baggage management across both carriers.

“

Through this agreement, Turkish Airlines passengers arriving in Lagos can connect seamlessly to Air Peace’s domestic and regional network,” he said.

This collaboration is particularly noteworthy from a Nigerian standpoint as it positions the country as a more central hub for international travel. Air Peace passengers will gain access to Turkish Airlines' extensive global network via Istanbul, opening up routes to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. Conversely, Turkish Airlines passengers arriving in Lagos can seamlessly connect to Air Peace's robust domestic and regional network. This synergy is expected to unlock substantial commercial and tourism potential, not only between Nigeria and Türkiye but also across the broader West and Central African regions.

He added that Air Peace passengers would access Turkish Airlines’ global routes via Istanbul, linking Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.

As highlighted by Air Peace's Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Nowel Ngala, this partnership is a milestone in positioning Nigeria at the forefront of global connectivity. The integration of Air Peace's expanding network, which includes modern aircraft like B777s and Embraer jets, with Turkish Airlines' global reach and premium services, offers unparalleled travel options and convenience. This move signifies a strong commitment to enhancing the passenger experience and solidifying Nigeria's role as a key aviation gateway.

“

This interline agreement reinforces our commitment to expanding connectivity across Africa. By combining our global reach with Air Peace’s regional strength, we offer more travel options, improved convenience and greater accessibility,” she said.
