March 10, 2026

2 minutes read

Air Peace has announced an expansion of its regional flight operations across West Africa, unveiling new schedules designed to improve connectivity and travel options within the sub-region.

The Nigerian carrier said the updated schedules will take effect from April 1, 2026, as part of its strategy to strengthen regional integration and facilitate trade and tourism among major West African cities.

Expanded connectivity across West Africa

Under the new arrangement, the airline will enhance connections between key regional destinations including Lagos, Abidjan, Dakar, Banjul, Accra, Monrovia and Freetown.

Air Peace said the enhanced network will provide passengers with greater travel flexibility and improved connectivity across its growing West African operations.

Lagos–Dakar–Banjul route details

Flights on the Lagos–Abidjan–Dakar–Banjul route will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

According to the airline, flights will depart Lagos at 07:00, arriving in Abidjan at 07:50 before continuing to Dakar at 08:30 and landing at 11:30.

The aircraft will then depart Dakar at 12:10 for Banjul, arriving at 13:00, before returning via Dakar and Abidjan to Lagos later in the day.

Additional flights to Dakar and Monrovia

Air Peace will also introduce additional Lagos–Abidjan–Dakar services operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, further strengthening air links between Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal.

Another route connecting Lagos–Accra–Monrovia will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, with flights departing Lagos at 08:00 and stopping in Accra before continuing to Monrovia.

In addition, a Lagos–Accra–Freetown service will run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, improving access to Sierra Leone through Accra.

Strengthening Lagos as a regional hub

The airline said the expanded schedules are aimed at improving travel efficiency between West African capitals while enabling smoother connections through its main hub in Lagos.

Air Peace noted that the move aligns with its broader strategy to position Lagos as a major regional aviation hub linking West and Central Africa to global destinations.

Passengers and travel partners have been encouraged to take advantage of the expanded services, which the airline said will offer competitive fares and additional baggage allowance to support business travel, tourism and regional trade.

The airline added that it remains committed to providing safe, reliable and convenient air travel across Africa and beyond.
