Addis Ababa, November 10, 2026 (FMC) – Ethiopian Airlines and Nigeria’s Air Peace have signed a bilateral interline agreement to expand air connectivity across Africa and provide passengers with more convenient access to destinations across the continent and beyond.
The agreement establishes cooperation between the two carriers in passenger travel and checked baggage services, allowing either airline to issue tickets for eligible itineraries involving flights operated by both airlines.
Under the arrangement, passengers will be able to book qualifying journeys on a single ticket and have their baggage checked through to their final destinations, where applicable, eliminating the need for separate bookings and baggage re-checks.
The partnership connects Air Peace’s domestic and regional network with Ethiopian Airlines’ extensive international destinations across Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.
Through the arrangement, passengers travelling from major cities in Nigeria and West Africa will gain access to Ethiopian Airlines’ global network through Addis Ababa. Similarly, international travellers arriving on Ethiopian Airlines flights will have expanded onward connections to destinations across Nigeria through Air Peace’s domestic network.
Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mesfin Tasew said the partnership reflects the two carriers’ shared commitment to improving passenger convenience, strengthening connectivity and supporting the expansion of air travel across Africa.
Air Peace Chairman and CEO Allen Onyema described the agreement as a milestone in efforts to strengthen the continent’s aviation links, noting that combining the airlines’ networks would create greater opportunities for seamless travel to and from Africa.
The partnership is also expected to facilitate the movement of people, businesses and investments, while supporting tourism and economic cooperation. It comes amid wider efforts to advance regional integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), where improved air connectivity is an important enabler of trade and economic engagement.
By linking their respective networks, the two airlines aim to bridge markets, connect communities and widen travel opportunities for passengers across Africa and international destinations.
