Air Peace, Ethiopian Airlines Sign Interline Agreement to Expand African Connectivity

Nigerian carrier Air Peace and Ethiopian Airlines have signed a bilateral interline agreement aimed at expanding air travel connections across Africa and providing passengers with easier access to international destinations.

The agreement allows both airlines to issue tickets for eligible journeys involving flights operated by the two carriers. It also provides for coordinated baggage services, enabling passengers to travel on a single ticket and have their luggage checked through to their final destinations, where applicable.

The partnership connects Air Peace’s domestic and regional network with Ethiopian Airlines’ extensive international operations across Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. Through the arrangement, passengers travelling from major Nigerian and West African cities will have improved access to Ethiopian Airlines’ international destinations through its Addis Ababa hub. Similarly, international travellers arriving in Nigeria on Ethiopian Airlines flights will have expanded onward connections to Nigerian and other West African cities through Air Peace.

Speaking on the partnership, Ethiopian Airlines Group Chief Executive Officer, Mesfin Tasew, said the agreement reflected both airlines’ commitment to improving passenger convenience, strengthening connectivity and supporting the growth of air travel across the continent.He added that combining the airlines’ networks would create more travel opportunities and improve connections between Africa and the rest of the world.
