Air Peace’s decision to resume direct flights to Guangzhou, China, comes as welcome news for travelers and businesses alike. The airline, known for its dedication to service excellence, had temporarily halted its operations in China due to various factors, including the global challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the world gradually opening up and travel restrictions easing, Air Peace is poised to re-establish its vital link between Nigeria and China.
The significance of this resumption extends beyond mere air travel; it reflects the airline’s confidence in the recovery of the aviation industry and its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of passengers. The move is expected to boost economic activity and facilitate increased trade and tourism between the two nations.
Air Peace’s decision to resume flights to China and introduce new connections underscores the airline’s unwavering commitment to providing seamless air travel experiences. By connecting cities and continents, the airline seeks to create a web of accessibility that not only benefits travelers but also stimulates economic and cultural exchange.
The resumption of operations to China aligns with Air Peace’s broader strategy of being a catalyst for positive change in the aviation sector. Despite the challenges faced by the industry in recent times, the airline remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering high-quality service and contributing to the growth and development of the regions it serves.
Beyond the realm of aviation, Air Peace’s resumption of direct flights to China holds immense potential for strengthening socio-economic relations between Nigeria and China. The direct air link serves as a conduit for enhanced collaboration in trade, investment, and cultural exchange. It provides Nigerian businesses with easier access to the Chinese market and vice versa, fostering a deeper understanding and partnership between the two nations.
The timing of this resumption is noteworthy, considering the evolving global landscape. As the world seeks to recover from the impact of the pandemic, initiatives that promote international cooperation and connectivity are crucial. Air Peace’s decision to resume flights to China serves as a testament to its role as a facilitator of these connections, contributing to the revitalization of global socio-economic activities.

He said that passengers could also now fly Accra-China-Accra, which is a new connection.
Olisa said the resumption of flights to China and the newly introduced connection were in furtherance of Air Peace’s commitment to providing connectivity across cities and between continents while also fostering socio-economic relations.
Air Peace began direct flights to China in 2022 with a high passenger load on its inaugural flight and launched three other international routes—Mumbai, Tel Aviv, and Jeddah—in 2023.
The airline is also planning to kick off scheduled flights to London soon.
Air Peace has a network of 21 domestic routes, eight regional routes, and six international destinations, with a fleet of over 30 aircraft.
