What changed
Ethiopian Airlines and Nigeria’s Air Peace signed a bilateral interline agreement in Addis Ababa on November 10, 2026. Eligible passengers can book journeys involving both airlines on one ticket and, where applicable, check baggage through to their final destination.
The arrangement links Air Peace’s Nigerian domestic and regional network with Ethiopian Airlines’ international network through Addis Ababa, reaching destinations across Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.
Why it matters
The practical gain is fewer handoffs. A traveller starting in Nigeria or elsewhere in West Africa can connect into Ethiopian Airlines’ wider network through a single booking, while passengers arriving on Ethiopian flights can continue to Nigerian destinations through Air Peace.
That matters because the two airlines are connecting different parts of the journey: Air Peace supplies reach inside Nigeria and the region; Ethiopian supplies the long-haul links beyond Addis Ababa. The partnership could make travel between Nigerian cities and international destinations simpler, although the agreement does not yet specify launch dates, fares, routes or whether every described connection is immediately available.
The carriers also say the arrangement is intended to support movement between African markets, including travel connected with business, investment, tourism and wider economic cooperation.
