Nigeria’s leading airline, Air Peace, is set to resume its direct flight connectivity to Guangzhou-China on December 28, 2023.

This is contained in a news release issued recently by the airline’s Spokesperson, Stanley Olisa, who also stated that passengers can now fly Accra-China-Accra which is a new connection.

Olisa said the resumption of flights to China and the newly introduced connection are in furtherance of Air Peace’s commitment to providing connectivity across cities and between continents while also fostering socio-economic relations.

Air Peace commenced direct flights to China in 2022 with a high passenger load on its inaugural flight. Since then, the airline has launched 3 other international routes- Mumbai, Tel Aviv and Jeddah in 2023- with a historic flight to the Caribbean nation, Antigua and Barbuda in August this year. The airline is also gearing up to kick off scheduled flights to London soon.

Air Peace leads Nigeria’s aviation industry with a network of 21 domestic routes, 8 regional and 6 international destinations, with an increasing modern fleet of over 30 aircraft, including 5 brand new Embraer 195-E2s and a recently penned order for 5 brand new Embraer 175s.
