Air Peace and Turkish Airlines have activated a bilateral interline agreement, which would boost connectivity between Nigeria, West and Central Africa and Turkish’s extensive global network.

A statement by the Communications Manager, Air Peace, Efe Osifo-Whiskey, said that through this agreement, Turkish Airlines passengers arriving in Lagos can now connect seamlessly onto Air Peace’s extensive domestic and regional network across Nigeria and West Africa.

He also said Air Peace passengers would gain access to Turkish Airlines’ vast global route network via Istanbul, one of the world’s leading aviation hubs, with onward connections across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas and beyond.

The interline partnership enables passengers of both airlines to enjoy frictionless, single-ticket travel, coordinated schedules and simplified baggage handling on selected routes and eligible itineraries, delivering a smoother and more convenient travel experience across multiple destinations.

The partnership significantly strengthens travel options between Nigeria and Türkiye, while also unlocking new commercial and tourism opportunities by linking West and Central Africa more efficiently to global markets.

Speaking on the collaboration, the Senior Vice President, International Relations and Alliances, Turkish Airlines, Dr Özlem Özyön, said that the interline agreement reinforces the airline’s commitment to expanding connectivity across Africa.

“By combining Turkish Airlines’ global reach with Air Peace’s strong regional presence, we are generating more travel options, improved convenience, and greater accessibility for our passengers,” he added.

Also, the Chief Commercial Officer, Air Peace, Nowel Ngala, described the partnership with Turkish Airlines as another important milestone in Air Peace’s strategy to position Africa and particularly Nigeria at the centre of global connectivity.
