The short answer
Getting compensation from Air Peace
If your Air Peace flight from the UK landed 3 hours or more late, or was cancelled with less than 2 weeks' notice, everyone on the booking may be owed up to £520 each when the cause was within the airline's control. Air Peace is a Nigerian airline, so only flights leaving the UK or the EU are covered, not flights from Nigeria into the UK.
Is my flight from Lagos to London covered?
No. UK and EU rules only cover an airline from outside Europe on flights leaving the UK or the EU. A late Air Peace flight into London does not pay fixed compensation, though you can still ask the airline for your out-of-pocket costs. Your flight back from London to Nigeria is covered.
How much is a late Air Peace flight from London worth?
Its flights from London to Nigeria are long-haul, so a delay of 4 hours or more pays £520 each, and a delay of 3 to 4 hours pays half, £260 each. Children count as passengers too.
Does a cancelled Air Peace flight count?
Yes, if you were told less than 2 weeks before the flight. You are owed the same as a long delay unless Air Peace offered a replacement close to your original times, or the cause was outside its control. You can also choose a full refund instead of a new flight.
How far back can I claim from Air Peace?
Up to six years in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and five years in Scotland. Older flights are worth checking: most passengers never claim.

How to claim
Claiming from Air Peace
Airlines rarely pay compensation on their own. Nothing happens until someone claims, and plenty of first claims come back refused when the airline blames something outside its control.
The rules do not change with the airline. What decides your claim is where the flight took off and how late it landed, not whose aircraft it was.
Your rights
What the rules turn on
Where the flight leaves from matters most. Anything leaving a UK airport is covered by the UK rules whoever operates it, and anything leaving the EU by the EU's. A flight into the UK or the EU is covered too when a UK or EU airline flies it. A delay of 4 hours or more on arrival pays £520 each (£260 each at 3 to 4 hours) on the distances Air Peace flies, when the cause was within the airline's control, which covers technical faults, crew shortages and the knock-on from a late inbound aircraft. It pays nothing when the cause was genuinely extraordinary, though airlines stretch that word further than the case law supports, so a refusal on those grounds is worth testing rather than accepting.
