    Wakanow, Africa’s premier travel technology company, celebrates Air Peace on its 10-year anniversary, applauding the airline’s significant impact on Nigeria’s aviation industry and economic progress, saying Air Peace’s expansion and dedication to accessible travel have not only strengthened Nigeria’s role in global aviation but also driven considerable economic contributions.

    Bayo Adedeji, Group CEO of Wakanow, highlighted Air Peace’s broader economic and social influence in Nigeria, saying, “Air Peace is more than just an airline; it is a catalyst for economic resilience, job creation, and connectivity across Africa. By linking 20 destinations, including the Lagos-to-London route, Air Peace has spurred commerce, tourism, and cultural exchange. This anniversary reflects the potential of local businesses powered by vision and collaboration, and Nigeria stands to gain immensely from this.” He added, “We are proud to partner with Air Peace on this journey.”

    Adenike Macaulay, CEO of Wakanow Nigeria, emphasised the partnership’s importance, stating, “Our collaboration with Air Peace underscores our commitment to providing safe, reliable, and world-class travel experiences. Together, we are advancing African travel, opening doors for connectivity and regional growth.”

    Since its inception, Air Peace has promoted aviation’s role in Nigeria’s economic development, fostering essential cultural and economic ties across Africa. Looking forward, Wakanow is committed to strengthening Africa’s travel market, empowering local communities, and setting an inspiring standard for African-owned enterprises, Macaulay added.

    Uber has introduced a new hotel booking feature within its app as part of its strategy to evolve into a comprehensive “everything app.” The service, developed in partnership with Expedia, allows users to search and reserve hotel rooms from a selection of more than 700,000 properties. The feature integrates travel tools such as maps, filters, and pricing options, while enabling payments through saved card details already stored in the Uber platform. According to Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, the company is expanding beyond ride-hailing and food delivery to become a unified platform for a wide range of everyday services. Expedia CEO Ariane Gorin said the collaboration is aimed at simplifying travel planning and reducing the steps required to complete bookings. Uber also plans to extend the partnership to include short-term rental listings through Vrbo in the future. The move reflects a broader global trend toward multifunctional apps that combine services like transport, shopping, and payments in a single ecosystem, similar to platforms such as WeChat and Alipay in China. Other tech companies are also pursuing similar “super app” models, including Airbnb, which has added experiences and personal services, and X, which is exploring financial services integration. Uber further revealed plans to incorporate AI-powered tools, including meal planning, shopping list creation, delivery coordination, and a voice assistant for navigating the app.
