Gateway Airport: Air Peace will launch London flights this summer, says Onyema

The Airline’s Chief Executive Officer, Allen Onyema, disclosed this during an interview with journalists after inspecting the airport’s facilities alongside Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun.

The visit followed the official commissioning of the airport by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to Onyema, Air Peace will operate flights connecting the airport to both London Gatwick Airport and Heathrow Airport, marking a significant milestone for Ogun State’s aviation sector.

Abiodun, in his remark, announced plans to further expand the airport’s ecosystem with the construction of an international conference and convention centre, alongside a 550-room five-star hotel.

He said the development would position the state as a hub for global business and tourism.

The governor, therefore, expressed confidence that the Gateway International Airport could soon become Nigeria’s third busiest aviation hub, after Lagos and Abuja.
