This development reduces constraints linked to multiple bookings and check-in procedures while improving the fluidity of intercontinental travel. Turkish Airlines passengers traveling to Lagos can continue their journeys to several domestic and regional destinations through Air Peace’s network.

Conversely, Air Peace customers departing from Nigeria and other West African countries can access Turkish Airlines’ extensive international network of nearly 300 destinations via its Istanbul hub, a strategic crossroads linking Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas.

Beyond enhancing transport offerings, both airlines expect positive spillovers for tourism, trade, and business activity. Air Peace positions this partnership within its broader international expansion strategy, particularly beyond the African continent.

The Nigerian carrier already relies on an interline agreement with Emirates, updated in January, which enables it to extend its reach to the United Arab Emirates and selected Middle East destinations, including Jeddah.
