How it started for Air Peace
Legit.ng had earlier reported that the airline secured approval months after Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation and aerospace, engaged the United Kingdom to actualise direct flights from Lagos to London.
In late January 2024, Keyamo met with Ben Boiling, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Norse Atlantic Airways Management in London.
The discussion was fruitful and Air Peace reached an agreement with Norse Atlantic Airways to use B777 and Dreamliners for the London operations
Dreamliners are operated by Norse Atlantic Airways and Air Peace owns B777.
The good news for Nigerians
The good news for travelers is the ticket pricing offered by Air Peace compared to existing international airlines operating on the same route.
The airline is offering economy class tickets for its London route at N1.2 million and business class tickets at N4 million.
BusinessDay reports that Air Peace ticket pricing is 60% cheaper compared to other airlines as foreign airlines charge an average of N3.5 million for economy class tickets from Lagos to London.
