Nigerian carrier, Air Peace says its non-stop flights from Lagos to Banjul, The Gambia, will begin today, Jan. 7.
Corporate Communications Manager, for the airline, Chris Iwarah disclosed this on Sunday in a statement signed issued in Lagos.
According to him, the flight will be routed through Accra, Ghana.
“We are pleased to announce the commencement of our non-stop flights to Banjul, the capital city of The Gambia, from Jan. 7.
“We had routed our flights to Banjul through Accra, Ghana. The new schedule follows our experiment with direct flights from Lagos to Freetown.
“The pieces of feedback we have received from members of the flying public indicate that they prefer to take direct flights to Freetown and Banjul. The option saves air travellers money and time,” he said.
Iwara disclosed that the carrier had broken its connecting flights to Freetown, Sierra Leone and now operates direct Lagos-Freetown-Lagos flights.
