International airline, Emirates, has signed an interline agreement with Air Peace, to enhance connectivity for passengers travelling to and from Nigeria.

The partnership expands Emirates’ footprint to 13 new cities in Nigeria, with frictionless single-ticket travel and simplified baggage.

Emirates made this known through a statement jointly signed by the Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer Of Emirates, Adnan Kazim, and Chief Operating Officer of Air Peace, Mrs Oluwatoyin Olajide, and made available to PUNCH Online on Tuesday.

According to the statement, Travellers booked on flights from Dubai to Lagos can access more of Nigeria’s cities with onward connections to Asaba, Akure, Benin City, Calabar, Enugu, Ilorin, Kaduna, and Owerri.
Both airlines opined that the interline agreement would also benefit corporate travellers, connecting to additional cities in Nigeria, including Kano, Uyo, Port Harcourt, Warri, and Abuja.

This, according to Emirates, will further strengthen the strong bilateral trade relationship between Nigeria and the UAE.
