Air Peace has announced that it will shift all its regional flight operations within West and Central Africa from night-time schedules to daytime services, with effect from February 2, 2026.
The airline made the announcement in a statement issued in Lagos on Monday, saying the decision was taken to improve passenger convenience, operational reliability and connectivity across its regional network.
According to Air Peace, the new daytime schedule will allow better coordination with domestic flights and long-haul international departures from its Lagos hub, while also improving punctuality and predictability for passengers travelling within the sub-region.
Under the revised arrangement, flights from Lagos will serve regional destinations including Accra (Ghana), Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), Dakar and Banjul (Senegal and The Gambia), Monrovia (Liberia), and Freetown (Sierra Leone) through structured daytime rotations on selected weekdays.
The airline said that on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, it will operate the Lagos–Abidjan–Dakar–Banjul–Dakar–Abidjan–Lagos route, allowing same-day connections across multiple West African capitals. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, flights will operate on the Lagos–Accra–Roberts International Airport (Monrovia)–Freetown–Roberts International–Accra–Lagos route.
Air Peace also confirmed that its Lagos–Accra–Lagos service will continue on a daily basis, with additional evening frequencies on selected days.
In the statement, the airline said the transition to daylight operations is expected to enhance passenger comfort and improve on-time performance, while making it easier for travellers to connect regional flights with night-time intercontinental services departing from Lagos.
“The daytime structure will provide smoother connections, greater travel convenience and more dependable schedules for passengers travelling across West and Central Africa,” the airline said.
Air Peace added that the move forms part of its broader strategy to strengthen regional air links, support trade and tourism, and improve mobility across Africa.
The airline also disclosed plans to expand its regional network before the end of the first quarter of 2026, with proposed new routes to Douala, Libreville, Kinshasa, Conakry, Bamako and Johannesburg.
The airline clarified that the new arrangement applies only to regional international flights, and does not affect its domestic operations within Nigeria.
