Air Peace’s historic Lagos–London route marked its one-year anniversary with widespread celebrations across Nigeria and beyond, as the airline unveiled a new strategic partnership with TECNO Mobile. The moment was hailed by many Nigerians as not just a commercial triumph, but a proud symbol of national achievement in global aviation.
Launched in March 2024, the direct route between Lagos and Heathrow represented a defining shift in Nigeria’s international travel landscape. Now, a year later, the airline’s continued growth is being seen as a testament to home-grown resilience and innovation.
The announcement of TECNO Mobile as the airline’s new official partner added further buzz to the anniversary celebrations. Both brands are seen as champions of Nigerian and African excellence, making the partnership a natural fit.
On social media, tributes poured in from proud Nigerians. One viral post by @AderugbeSharon read: “Exactly one year ago, Air Peace made history, flying Naija directly to London with pride, power, and purpose. Today, we celebrate not just a route, but a movement. Now partnered with TECNO, we’re taking African excellence global.”
Another user, Faith Fowosire, echoed the excitement: “Who go believe say Na our own airline go dey paint London skies after just one year? From Lagos to Heathrow with swag! TECNO join body now—omo, Naija no dey carry last!”
At a commemorative event in London, Air Peace Chairman and CEO Allen Onyema expressed deep appreciation to Nigerians for their unwavering support. “This is more than aviation—it’s patriotism. It’s about rewriting the African narrative. Air Peace will keep flying the flag high,” he said.
TECNO Mobile, widely recognised for making technology accessible across Africa, described the partnership as an opportunity to bring added value to passengers through onboard experiences, giveaways, and co-branded campaigns throughout the year.
The collaboration between two Nigerian powerhouses has not only generated excitement but has further entrenched Air Peace as a symbol of national pride. What began as a new route is now seen as a movement—one that reflects Nigeria’s potential on the world stage.
As the airline looks ahead to future milestones, the message from Nigerians is clear: Air Peace’s Lagos–London journey is not just about connecting continents—it’s about connecting ambitions.
