Air Peace has engaged travel partners on its expansion strategy as the airline prepares to commence new regional services to Bamako, Conakry, Douala and Libreville, reaffirming its commitment to improving connectivity across Africa and strengthening collaboration with the travel trade community.
Ahead of the launch of the four new routes on August 1, 2026, the airline hosted a Travel Agency Forum that brought together travel partners and industry stakeholders to discuss its growth plans, highlight emerging business opportunities and deepen partnerships that will support the success of its expanding regional network.
The forum provided an opportunity for Air Peace to share insights into its route expansion programme, operational capabilities and customer-focused initiatives, while emphasising the important role of travel agencies in connecting passengers to new destinations across West and Central Africa.
Speaking at the event, Chief Commercial Officer of Air Peace, Nowel Ngala, highlighted the strategic importance of the new routes, noting that they would enhance regional connectivity, promote trade and tourism, and create more opportunities for passengers and travel partners.
Ngala reaffirmed the airline’s commitment to maintaining a strong partnership with the travel agency community, describing travel partners as key contributors to the growth and success of Air Peace’s expanding network.
Representing the National President of the National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA), the Vice President, Lagos Zone, Yinka Olapade, commended Air Peace for its continued investment in route expansion, describing the new regional services as a significant development that would strengthen regional integration and create new opportunities for the travel industry.
The Senior Vice President for Sabre Travel Solutions, Central and West Africa, Allen Awosikunde, also congratulated Air Peace on the expansion, noting that the new routes would further improve connectivity within the region and support the growth of the aviation and travel ecosystem.
Similarly, Travelport’s Manager for Air Commerce, Funmilayo Ogunsanwo, praised Air Peace’s expanding network, stating that the additional destinations would stimulate business opportunities, improve accessibility and provide travel agencies with more options to serve their customers.
During the forum, Air Peace’s Domestic, International and Regional Sales teams took travel partners through presentations covering the airline’s route network, operational strengths, market performance and customer-oriented offerings.
The sessions also highlighted commercial opportunities and promotional initiatives available to travel partners, equipping them with information needed to maximise sales and provide better travel solutions to passengers.
An interactive question-and-answer session followed the presentations, allowing travel partners to engage Air Peace executives on route performance, operational challenges, reservation solutions and future expansion plans.
In his goodwill message, Ngala appreciated travel agencies for their continued support, describing them as important ambassadors of the Air Peace brand.
“You are ambassadors of the Air Peace brand. Every booking you make, every customer you advise, every itinerary you recommend and every passenger you entrust to Air Peace contributes directly to our success.
“Your dedication, professionalism and belief in our airline have played a significant role in making Air Peace what it is today”, he said.
He reaffirmed the airline’s commitment to deepening its partnership with the travel trade as Air Peace continues to expand its network and connect more people, businesses and destinations across Nigeria, Africa and beyond.
