Why UK261 usually does not apply
UK261 covers flights departing the UK on any carrier. It also covers certain flights arriving in the UK from abroad when operated by a UK or EU carrier. Air Peace is a Nigerian carrier, so its Lagos-to-London operation generally does not satisfy the inbound-carrier condition.
Nationality, residence and where the ticket was purchased do not change that scope test. A British or Nigerian passport holder is treated the same for this purpose.
What may still be claimed
If the flight was cancelled, check the airline's contractual refund or rerouting offer and the applicable Nigerian passenger rules. If delay caused documented financial loss, review travel insurance and payment-card protection. Package bookings can produce separate organiser obligations.
For delayed, lost or damaged checked baggage, the Montreal Convention may apply to the international carriage. This is a proven-loss regime: preserve the PIR, baggage tags and evidence of necessary replacement purchases.
Air Peace claim questions
Does nationality affect Air Peace compensation?
No. Route, operating carrier, disruption and arrival delay matter; passenger nationality does not determine UK261 coverage.
Do I need the flight number to start?
No. Airline, route and date are enough to begin. A flight number from the booking can strengthen verification.
Is compensation guaranteed?
No. Scope, delay length, notice, cause and evidence must all be checked.
What does MeClaims charge?
There is no upfront payment. A success fee applies only if compensation is recovered.
