Air Peace, West and Central Africa’s largest carrier, has announced the commencement of direct flights from Lagos and Kano to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia from October 31, 2023.
The airline made this known during an engagement session with travel agents in Kano on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, saying the Lagos- and Kano-Jeddah will operate three days every week with a possible connection from Abuja.
A statement issued in Lagos on Wednesday by the airline’s Chief Operating Officer, Ms Oluwatoyin Olajide, said the connectivity would be direct using the Boeing 777 aircraft.
She explained that the Lagos-Jeddah and Kano-Jeddah would operate three days every week with a possible connection from Abuja.
The airline’s official thanked the travel agents and restated the airline’s commitment to working with them to ensure the new route is maximised for everyone to enjoy the payoffs.
“In the first half of this year, we launched two major international destinations- Mumbai and Tel Aviv- and now we are gearing up for Jeddah next month.
“This does not only signal growth and expansion for the airline but it also demonstrates our firm commitment to reducing the burden associated with connecting cities with stopovers.
“We promise direct connectivity and this is evident in our international route network. We offer direct flights at affordable fares,” she said.
The Vice President, National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies, Northern Zone, Abdulrazak Ibrahim, commended Air Peace for the planned route.
Ibrahim reaffirmed the association’s support while also urging the airline to keep blazing the trail in driving route connectivity across domestic and international cities.
