Air Peace is returning to the Ibadan to Abuja route from Christmas eve December 24 in a move that is seen as its continuing commitment to improve domestic air travel connectivity and passenger convenience.
The resumption follows the reopening of Ibadan Airport, which had earlier been closed to commercial flight operations. With airport activities now restored, Air Peace said it is responding swiftly to the strong demand from its esteemed passengers, particularly travellers in Oyo State and surrounding regions seeking seamless access to the nation’s capital.
The airline confirmed that fares on the Ibadan–Abuja route will start from ₦95,000, offering customers an affordable and reliable travel option during the high-traffic festive season and beyond.
This development forms part of Air Peace’s recently announced resumption of its Warri operations and additional frequencies across its domestic network, strategically introduced to accommodate increased passenger traffic during the yuletide period while sustaining capacity growth into 2026. The expansion underscores the airline’s proactive approach to meeting travel demand during peak seasons without compromising operational efficiency.
The resumed Ibadan service is further strengthened by the airline’s growing fleet, following the recent arrival of its third Embraer 190 aircraft, a move that enhances schedule reliability, route flexibility, and overall service delivery across its domestic operations.
Speaking on the resumption, Air Peace reaffirmed its dedication to connecting underserved markets, easing travel stress for passengers, and supporting socio-economic activities through dependable air transport solutions.
The airline encouraged passengers to book early via the Air Peace website, mobile app, or accredited travel agents to enjoy the attractive fares.
It noted that as Nigeria’s leading carrier, Air Peace continues to demonstrate resilience, responsiveness, and strategic foresight, ensuring that passengers enjoy greater access, competitive fares, and expanded flight options across the country, especially during the festive season and beyond.
