The United Kingdom aviation authorities have expressed readiness to discuss the issue of slot allocation to Air Peace, the Nigerian carrier, in its tier-A airport in Heathrow, London.
This followed a threat by Nigeria’s minister for Aviation and Aerospace development, Festus Keyamo, who had in September written a diplomatic letter to the United Kingdom aviation handlers, demanding slots for Air Peace at Heathrow Airport.
Mr. Keyamo had threatened to deny UK carriers slots at the Lagos and Abuja airports if their was no reciprosy.
Responding, the UK secretary of state for transport, Louise Haigh, said his department would be ready to “further discuss this matter” at the “upcoming International Civil Aviation Negotiations event in October 2024.”
