Pecohub Air France has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Nigeria, pledging continued investment in connectivity, service upgrades and passenger experience as it marked 80 years of uninterrupted operations in the country.
Speaking in Lagos at the opening of a commemorative exhibition organised in partnership with Alliance Française, the General Manager of Air France Nigeria, Mr Jean-Luc Mevellec, said the milestone was not just a celebration of history but a reaffirmation of the airline’s confidence in Nigeria’s aviation market.
“This exhibition is a testament to our longstanding partnership with Nigeria. We are proud to share our journey and to celebrate the cultural and economic ties that have connected our two countries for 80 years,” Mevellec said.
He disclosed that Air France currently operates daily flights between Lagos and Paris Charles de Gaulle, alongside three weekly flights from Abuja, providing Nigerian travellers access to over 200 global destinations.
According to him, the airline has continued to expand capacity and enhance service delivery in response to growing demand from Nigeria.
Mevellec noted that Air France had invested in upgrading its facilities in the country, including the renovation of its Lagos airport lounge and improvements to ticketing offices in Lagos and Abuja, as part of efforts to improve customer experience.
Consul General of France in Lagos, Mr Laurent Favier, described the Air France–Nigeria relationship as an “oak wedding,” symbolising strength, resilience and longevity.
