Nigerian airline Air Peace has achieved the highest seat capacity growth among African carriers in December 2025, increasing available seats by 53.4% compared with December 2024, according to recent industry data.
The airline’s remarkable performance stands out amid a 3.7% decline in overall airline seat capacity in Nigeria during the same period, highlighting Air Peace’s ability to expand even as the domestic market faced contraction.
Industry experts credit the growth to strategic route expansion, fleet optimization, and operational efficiency, which have enabled the airline to capture a larger share of both domestic and regional travel markets.
Air Peace’s CEO emphasized that the growth was achieved despite rising taxes and regulatory pressures that continue to challenge the Nigerian aviation industry, demonstrating the airline’s resilience and ambitious growth strategy.
This performance cements Air Peace’s position as a leading player in Africa’s aviation sector, setting it apart from competitors and reinforcing its commitment to expanding air travel options across the continent. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
