Etihad Airways has signed an interline agreement with Nigeria’s Ibom Air, offering connections to five Nigerian cities when it launches services to Lagos and Accra in March 2027.
The agreement will enable Etihad passengers arriving in Lagos or Accra to connect to Abuja, Uyo, Port Harcourt, Calabar and Enugu on a single ticket, with baggage checked through to their final destination. Connections will also be available between Accra and Abuja and between Accra and Uyo.
Etihad will launch daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Lagos on March 23, 2027, followed by four weekly flights to Accra from March 24.
“Our ambitions in Africa are long-term, and Nigeria sits at the centre of them,” said Arik De, Etihad Airways Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer. “Having this in place before our Accra and Lagos flights begin next March means we arrive in the region already connected to the cities beyond them.”
