Recall that Air Peace made history on Saturday, March 31, 2024, when its inaugural flight from Lagos touched down at Gatwick Airport in London.

The luxury Boeing 777 aircraft took off at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos at 12:10 am on Saturday and landed in London a few hours later.

The development comes a month after the airline announced plans to begin direct flight operations to London during a pre-launch forum it organised in February.

In a recent interview on Arise Television, owner and Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, credited the Federal Government and the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, for making the feat possible.
