Heathrow Airport has confirmed the start date for Air Peace’s new direct Abuja–London service, set to launch on October 26, 2025.

Heathrow Airport has officially congratulated Nigeria’s largest airline, Air Peace, as it prepares to expand operations in the United Kingdom with new direct flights from Abuja.

On July 20, Air Peace announced that it will launch direct routes from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, to both Heathrow and Gatwick Airports in London starting October 26, 2025.

In a celebratory post on X, Heathrow confirmed the upcoming service, stating:
