LAGOS, Nigeria (NPA) — Air Peace has announced the launch of scheduled flight services from Lagos to Douala (Cameroon), Libreville (Gabon), Bamako (Mali), and Conakry (Guinea), effective August 1, 2026.

The new routes form part of the airline’s expansion strategy aimed at strengthening connectivity across West and Central Africa while supporting trade, tourism, investment, and regional integration.

Under the new schedule, Air Peace will operate the Lagos–Douala–Libreville route four times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

The Lagos–Bamako–Conakry service will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

The airline said the additional destinations will further strengthen Lagos’ position as a major aviation hub linking West and Central Africa with its extensive domestic and international network.

Passengers travelling from Douala, Libreville, Bamako, and Conakry will have access to onward connections to several Nigerian cities, including Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin, Owerri, Kano, Asaba, Ibadan, Yola, Maiduguri, and Gombe.

According to a report by The Travel Port, the new services will also provide easier access to Air Peace’s international destinations, including London Gatwick in the United Kingdom and Caribbean destinations such as Antigua and Barbados.

Commenting on the development, Air Peace management said the expansion reflects the airline’s commitment to providing safe, reliable, and affordable air transportation across Africa.

“The launch of these new regional services underscores our commitment to connecting Africa through safe, reliable, and affordable air transportation. By expanding our footprint across West and Central Africa, we are facilitating commerce, tourism, investment, and regional integration,” the airline said.

Air Peace noted that the routes align with the objectives of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM), which seek to improve connectivity and reduce travel barriers across the continent.

Bookings for the new services are now available through the airline’s website, mobile application, contact centre, and accredited travel agencies.

The carrier said it remains committed to expanding access to air travel while strengthening Nigeria’s position as a leading aviation gateway in Africa.
