Air Peace chooses Gatwick Airport for Lagos-London flights following UK’s refusal of Heathrow

Allen Onyema (Dr.), the Chairman and CEO of Air Peace Limited, unveiled the airline’s decision to commence Lagos-London flights from Gatwick Airport starting March 30, 2024.

The choice of Gatwick, he emphasised, comes from the UK authorities’ denial of Heathrow, as revealed in his statement on Arise TV.

In the interview, Onyema elucidated, “The BASA we signed with the UK is this: you give me your primary airport; we give you our primary airport. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic Airways come to our country using our primary airports, Lagos and Abuja.”

He expressed disappointment over UK’s refusal to extend the courtesy of Heathrow, which is regarded as the primary airport.

While initially adamant about Heathrow, Onyema noted the practical advantages Gatwick offers, particularly for Nigerian engers residing in the South East of London.

He highlighted the reduced traffic congestion and the seamless connectivity to Central London from Gatwick, attributing these factors as pivotal in Air Peace’s decision-making process.

Onyema remarked, “Gatwick was not really our choice but in the long run we decided to see some goods in choosing Gatwick.”

He acknowledged Gatwick’s Southern terminal allocation to Air Peace, enabling engers to swiftly access transportation links to various parts of the UK.

“Many of our people live down South East part of London and there is heavy traffic into Central London from Heathrow, but at Gatwick, they allotted Southern terminal to Air Peace and when you get to south terminal, you get out of immigration, take your luggage, you walk into the Gatwick express train within three minutes and that will take you to Victoria, right into Central London,” Onyema elaborated.

Never say Never . Reason has reason that reasons do not know.

Nigerians should embrace their own! Let them see the changes in our attitude to making our country grow.

Finally a decision that considers the convenience of Nigerian engers, Gatwick is definitely the way to go for Air Peace!

Let’s hope everything succeed. Straight flight from Naija to UK by Airpeace go make sense.

I love this man's persevering spirit.

There is some good in every disappointment.

I feel this airline is about to blow like Nvidia, the result of yesterday's persistence is about to yield fruits

Makes sense. Any sensible Nigerian will patronize airpeace.

This will be one of the defining moments for Nigeria, if we want to grow or remain stagnate.

Una don start. Nvidia ko, Microsoft ni.

They are in totally different industry where scalability is an issue.

At best, it will be like Air Marco or ethiopian airlines

See who is talking about AI industry here, Nvidia has been making chips for more than 30 years , and just hit it big on AI chips, air peace has been flying for more than 10 years and has gotten 3 lucrative routes , route to London and another to new York.


If you still can't make anything out of this then the fault is yours.

I think Manchester will be more lucrative than Gatwick.
There is no competition there

It a good one but I just hope they fly there at least thrice a week no business person will take them serious if they are flying once a week except if thier target is for those that are japaying.

onyema talk to yua brother bayosphere to give you better hangar to park yua planes


lol yua

Good. As I never fly before for my life, e no kukuma concern me.

K

That's a right choice.. correct 9jar foods must be serve inside the flight otherwise I no go buy airpeace

These are people who love their country irrespective of the Govt of the day.

Not some losers who seek doom and evil to prove a point.

I will be flying Air Peace henceforth! No more Emirates BA or Virgin

This Onyeama guy is dogged

The UK wants to keep using Nigeria as a puppet, little wonder they've doubled down during this tenure.

Good choice from the Air peace chairman.
