Africa's largest private carrier, Air Peace, has announced a major restructuring of its regional services, confirming that all flights across West Africa will transition from night‑time schedules to daytime operations beginning February 2, 2026.
The airline said the move is designed to improve passenger convenience, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen regional connectivity.
By aligning daytime rotations with domestic and long‑haul departures from Lagos, Air Peace aims to position Nigeria’s commercial capital as a stronger aviation hub for business, government, and leisure travel.
In a statement issued in Lagos, the carrier explained that the new structure would boost on‑time performance and provide travellers with more predictable and competitive options.
Strengthening Regional Links and Future Expansion
Under the revised schedule, flights from Lagos will connect major destinations including Accra, Abidjan, Dakar, Banjul, Monrovia, and Freetown through carefully sequenced daytime rotations on selected weekdays.
The airline noted that the change will also improve connectivity to night‑time long‑haul services, ensuring smoother travel for passengers heading to Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
Air Peace emphasised that the daytime operations are expected to enhance passenger comfort, improve schedule reliability, and support intra‑African trade, tourism, and mobility.
The carrier also confirmed plans to expand its regional footprint before the end of the first quarter of operations, with proposed new routes to Douala, Libreville, Kinshasa, Conakry, Bamako, and Johannesburg.
The announcement comes as Nigeria continues to push for stronger aviation links across Africa, with Air Peace playing a leading role in regional integration.
The airline has previously secured exclusive approvals for Hajj operations alongside Max Air and FlyNas, underscoring its growing influence in both domestic and international markets.
Bookings for the new daytime services are already open through authorised travel agencies, the airline’s website, and approved sales channels.
For passengers, the shift will be more convenient, reduce fatigue from late‑night travel, and offer better connections to onward flights.
Industry analysts say this new arrangement reflects the trend among African carriers to optimise schedules for regional growth, with Nigeria’s aviation sector increasingly seen as a driver of continental mobility and trade.
