Air Peace has announced an expansion of its regional flight operations across West Africa and unveiled a new set of schedules designed to strengthen connectivity and ease travel within the sub-region.
The airline said the new operations will take effect from April 1, 2026, linking major West African cities through its Lagos hub and providing passengers with improved travel options, flexible schedules, and seamless connections.
Under the revised network plan, Air Peace will operate multi-city routes connecting Lagos, Abidjan, Dakar, Banjul, Accra, Monrovia, and Freetown, significantly expanding travel choices across the region.
One of the key routes will run from Lagos to Abidjan, Dakar, and Banjul, with return flights through the same corridor.
The service will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with departures from Lagos at 7:00 a.m., arriving Abidjan at 7:50 a.m., before continuing to Dakar and Banjul.
The airline will also run a Lagos–Abidjan–Dakar service on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, allowing passengers to travel between the three commercial hubs with same-day return options.
In addition, Air Peace will strengthen its presence on the Lagos–Accra–Monrovia route, operating flights four times weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Flights will depart Lagos at 8:00 a.m., arriving in Accra shortly after, before proceeding to Monrovia.
A second corridor linking Lagos, Accra, and Freetown will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, providing more direct connections for travellers moving between Nigeria, Ghana, and Sierra Leone.
According to the airline, the new schedules are designed to boost regional mobility while positioning Lagos as a strategic aviation hub in West Africa.
“These new schedules are designed to improve connectivity across key West African capitals, enabling passengers to travel more efficiently within the region while connecting seamlessly through our Lagos hub,” the airline said in a statement.
The carrier added that the network expansion aligns with its broader strategy to support economic integration, trade, tourism, and business travel within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) corridor.
Air Peace also said passengers and travel partners will benefit from competitive fares and generous baggage allowances, which it believes will encourage more intra-African travel.
The airline urged customers and travel agents to take advantage of the enhanced services as it continues to expand its footprint across the African continent while strengthening regional air connectivity.
