Turkish Airlines and Air Peace, West Africa’s largest airline, have signed a bilateral interline agreement which will enhance seamless connectivity between Nigeria, West and Central Africa, Türkiye, and Turkish Airlines’ extensive global network.

The interline partnership enables passengers of both airlines to enjoy single-ticket travel, coordinated schedules and simplified baggage handling on selected routes and eligible itineraries.

Through this agreement, Turkish Airlines passengers arriving in Lagos can now connect to Air Peace’s domestic and regional network across Nigeria and West Africa. Likewise, Air Peace passengers gain access to Turkish Airlines’  route network via Istanbul, with onward connections across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, and beyond.

Speaking on the collaboration, Dr. Özlem Özyön, SVP International Relations and Alliances at Turkish Airlines, said: “This interline agreement with Air Peace reinforces our 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.”

Commenting on the agreement, Nowel Ngala, Chief Commercial Officer of Air Peace, said:  “This partnership with Turkish Airlines is another important milestone in Air Peace’s strategy to position Africa and particularly Nigeria at the center of global connectivity. By integrating our robust domestic and regional network with Turkish Airlines’ unparalleled international reach, we are offering our customers seamless connections, reduced travel complexity, and greater choice, while strengthening Nigeria’s role as a key aviation gateway.”
