Emirates has collaborated with Air Peace, Nigeria's largest airline, offering passengers seamless travel options across an additional 13 cities within Nigeria. This interline agreement facilitates single-ticket travel and streamlined baggage handling, simplifying the travel experience significantly.

Through this collaboration, passengers flying from Dubai to Lagos can now enjoy easy connections to several Nigerian cities, including Asaba, Akure, Benin City, Calabar, Enugu, Ilorin, Kaduna, and Owerri. This initiative not only enhances travel convenience but also serves corporate travellers by providing additional connectivity to Nigeria's key economic centres such as Abuja, Kano, Uyo, Port Harcourt, and Warri.

Emirates' operation of the Dubai-Lagos route with the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft ensures passengers experience top-quality service. Travellers can enjoy regionally inspired cuisine, a selection of premium beverages, and over 6,500 channels of global entertainment through Emirates' inflight entertainment system, ICE.

This includes 23 Nigerian movies, showcasing the airline's commitment to providing culturally relevant entertainment options. The partnership also allows more Nigerian travellers to experience Emirates' first-class service, known for its luxury and privacy.

Air Peace's commitment to providing extensive domestic and international connectivity is supported by its diversified fleet, including Airbus 320s, Boeing 737s, Boeing 777s, Dornier 328-300 Jets, Embraer 145s, and Embraer 195-E2s. This collaboration with Emirates further positions Air Peace as a leader in Nigeria's aviation sector, offering enhanced travel experiences and connectivity.

Emirates stands out for its global connectivity, significantly boosted by its vast partnership network. In Africa alone, the airline extends its reach to over 223 regional points through five codeshare and 19 interline partnerships. This network offers better connections to holiday destinations and emerging economic centres across the continent, underlining Emirates' role in enhancing global travel connectivity.

To facilitate travel arrangements, customers can now book their flights via Emirates' official website, retail outlets, mobile app, or preferred travel agencies. This partnership between Emirates and Air Peace is set to redefine travel experiences for passengers flying to and from Nigeria, further solidifying the aviation ties between the UAE and Nigeria.

According to Adnan Kazim, Emirates' Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, "Emirates is a steadfast partner of Nigeria's tourism, trade and aviation sectors.
