Air Peace Expands Global Distribution as Travelport Signs Multi-Year Content Agreement

Air Peace Limited, Nigeria’s and West Africa’s largest airline, has taken a significant step in strengthening its global distribution strategy following the signing of a new multi-year content agreement with Travelport, a leading global multi-source content provider for the travel industry.

The agreement, announced in London and Lagos, will see Air Peace’s comprehensive flight content distributed through Travelport+, Travelport’s next-generation travel marketplace that connects hundreds of thousands of travel agencies worldwide.

The partnership is expected to enhance the airline’s visibility across Central and West Africa while opening up wider access to key international markets.

Through the deal, Air Peace will benefit from Travelport’s advanced retailing technology, rich content capabilities and branding tools, enabling the airline to more effectively present its products and services to travel agents and travellers globally.

This development reflects a growing shift among airlines in emerging markets towards modern distribution platforms that support enhanced product differentiation, improved customer experience and increased global reach.

Air Peace operates an extensive network of domestic and regional passenger and charter services across Nigeria and West Africa, alongside international routes to destinations in the Middle East, the Caribbean and the United Kingdom.

With the expanded collaboration, the airline’s full inventory will now be available to travel agencies using Travelport+, allowing for more seamless booking processes and greater market penetration.

Travelport’s Chief Commercial Officer, Damian Hickey, described Air Peace as a strategically important carrier within West and Central Africa, noting that the agreement strengthens Travelport’s content offering in these markets.

He said the partnership would also support Air Peace in extending its global reach by delivering enhanced, branded content to travel agencies worldwide, in line with evolving retailing standards in the aviation sector.

On his part, Air Peace’s Chief Commercial Officer, Nowel Ngala, said the partnership marks a major milestone in the airline’s international growth plans.

He explained that ensuring global accessibility of Air Peace services remains a key priority, adding that Travelport’s wide agency network and modern technology platform would help the airline grow sales, improve customer engagement and reinforce its presence in key overseas markets.

The agreement further underlines Travelport’s expanding footprint across Africa, where airlines are increasingly seeking distribution solutions that combine extensive agency reach with next-generation retailing capabilities.

Analysts say such partnerships are crucial as African carriers continue to integrate more deeply into the global aviation marketplace.
Headquartered in London, Travelport operates in over 180 countries, connecting travel buyers and sellers through its Travelport+ platform.

The company was ranked first among 160 travel software suppliers in a G2 survey conducted in December 2025, highlighting its leadership in travel technology.

Air Peace, which operates a fleet comprising Boeing 777s, Boeing 737s and Embraer aircraft, continues to expand its route network across Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean and Europe.

The airline plays a growing role in boosting regional integration, supporting trade and tourism, and positioning Nigeria as an important aviation hub.
