Nigeria, UK battle over Air Peace landing right in Heathrow

Nigeria's Air Peace airline is at the center of a diplomatic dispute with the UK over landing rights at Heathrow Airport.

Nigerian Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo has demanded that Air Peace be given slots at Heathrow, threatening retaliation if British airlines are not restricted at Nigerian airports.

The conflict escalated after Air Peace missed key application deadlines, complicating the issue.

The dispute highlights tensions within the Bilateral Air Services Agreement between the two countries, which aims to ensure fair treatment and reciprocity in landing rights.
