Gatwick Says No Unfair Treatment In Air Peace Slot

Gatwick airport, the secondary international airport serving London has disclosed that there are no unfair treatment in allotting slots to Air Peace.

Recently, Allen Onyema, the chairman of Air Peace, stated that the airline has not started selling Lagos to London tickets for dates between October and December because Gatwick Airport is delaying in granting it slots to operate within the period.

But Gatwick Airport in an email revealed that the claims made by Onyema “are not true.”

Rebecca Byng, London Gatwick media relations manager stated in the email, “Winter slots have not yet been allocated to any airline so I can assure you that is not the case.

“The Winter 2024/25 schedule has yet to be coordinated by Airport Coordination Limited (ACL) who allocates slots on behalf of London Gatwick.”

Also, Byng revealed that airlines wishing to operate at London Gatwick during the Winter 2024 schedule are invited to make their initial submissions to ACL by Thursday, May 9.

The Gatwick spokesperson said, “We are proud to welcome Air Peace to London Gatwick and look forward to working with them to positively benefit travel and trade on the important London to Lagos long-haul route."
