Nigerian aviation entrepreneur Allen Onyema has taken a major step to expand Air Peace’s international reach, signing a multi-year distribution agreement with Travelport that connects the airline to thousands of travel agencies across 180 countries.
Announced on March 1, 2026, the deal integrates Air Peace’s domestic, regional, and international flight inventory into Travelport Plus, a global travel retailing platform. The partnership allows travel agents in key cities such as London, Nairobi, and New York to book Air Peace flights in real time, with full access to fares and ancillary services including seat selection and extra baggage.
Previously, some African carriers struggled to distribute these services internationally. Travel agents in countries like Kenya had to navigate multiple systems to book West African routes. With this new integration, booking a trip from East Africa to West Africa – and onward to long-haul destinations such as London, Mumbai, and Guangzhou – becomes seamless.
The Kenya Association of Travel Agents welcomed the agreement, calling it a major step toward improving cross-continental connectivity. “This will simplify bookings and enhance travel options across Africa,” a spokesperson said.
Travelport Plus also features AI-driven tools to help agencies identify the best ticket options for travelers based on their preferences, further boosting Air Peace’s visibility among both leisure and business travelers seeking flexible pricing and service packages.
The partnership aligns with broader trends in African aviation, including the Single African Air Transport Market plan, which aims to make travel across the continent easier and more efficient.
For Air Peace, the Travelport deal strengthens its position in the global aviation ecosystem, allowing the airline to reach international customers more directly and reduce reliance on domestic market fluctuations, such as fuel costs and currency restrictions.
