Air Peace Airline has announced its plan to commence direct flights from Lagos and Kano to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia from October 31.
The airline’s Chief Operating Officer, Oluwatoyin Olajide, disclosed this in a statement issued in Lagos on Wednesday.
Speaking during an engagement with travel agents in Kano, she noted that the connectivity would be direct using the Boeing 777 aircraft.
According to her, the Lagos-Jeddah and Kano-Jeddah routes will run three days a week with a potential connection from Abuja.
“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.”
With this recent development, Air Peace will be the first Indigenous company to fly from Lagos and Kano to Jeddah.
Other airlines that fly the same route include Asky Airline (Ethiopia), EgyptAir, Qatar Airways and Ethiopia Airlines
