Signed on 10 November 2026 in Addis Ababa, the agreement between the two airlines allows their flights to be combined on the same ticket and provides, under certain conditions, for the check-in of luggage to the final destination. In particular, it links Air Peace's domestic and regional network with that of Ethiopian Airlines.

Ethiopian Airlines and Air Peace have signed a bilateral interline agreement covering passenger and checked baggage services. Both carriers will now be able to issue tickets for eligible routes combining their respective flights.

This will allow travellers to make their journey with a single reservation and, where conditions permit, check in their luggage to their final destination.

The scheme establishes a commercial link between Air Peace's domestic and regional network and the international network of Ethiopian Airlines, which serves destinations in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas from Addis Ababa.

Passengers leaving major Nigerian cities will be able to access Ethiopian Airlines' destinations via its Ethiopian hub. In the other direction, travellers arriving on Ethiopian airline flights will be able to continue their journey to different cities in Nigeria through the Air Peace network.

For the Nigerian carrier, this agreement adds to other interline partnerships with international companies. In January 2026, Air Peace updated its agreement with Emirates before signing an agreement with Turkish Airlines in April.

These arrangements allow it to offer routes combining its own flights with those of partner carriers. At the same time, the company continues to develop its African network, with the launch in August 2026 of links to Bamako, Conakry and Libreville.

In their respective statements, Mesfin Tasew, Managing Director of the Ethiopian Airlines Group, and Allen Onyema, President and CEO of Air Peace, presented the agreement as a means of expanding travel opportunities and facilitating travel between African markets and international destinations.

Both companies also refer to the prospects for the movement of business travellers and tourists in the context of continental economic integration carried by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AFTAAf).
