The United Kingdom’s aviation authorities are open to discussing slot allocation for Air Peace, Nigeria’s carrier, at Heathrow’s tier-A airport.
This follows a diplomatic letter from Nigeria’s Aviation and Aerospace Development Minister, Festus Keyamo, requesting landing slots at Heathrow.
UK Secretary of State for Transport, Louise Haigh, responded, saying her department would “further discuss this matter” at the International Civil Aviation Negotiations event in October 2024.
This development comes amidst the federal government’s threat to deny UK carriers slots at Lagos and Abuja airports.
