…To begin daytime operations Feb 2
By Chinelo Obogo
Air Peace has said that it is transitioning to daytime flights across its West African network, effective 02 February 2026.
The airline said the move to daytime flights is designed to better align regional departures and arrivals with onward domestic, regional, and long-haul services, particularly from Lagos, which remains the airline’s primary hub. According to the carrier, by shifting its regional services to daytime flights, it aims to address passenger concerns with late-night operations.

Under the revised daytime flights programme, the Lagos-Abidjan-Dakar-Banjul rotation will operate every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The aircraft will depart Lagos early in the morning, arriving in Abidjan shortly after sunrise before continuing to Dakar and Banjul. The return journey will follow the same daylight pattern, ensuring the aircraft arrives back in Lagos in the evening.
On Thursdays and Saturdays, Air Peace will operate a second regional circuit linking Lagos with Accra, Roberts International Airport in Monrovia, and Freetown. The aircraft will return to Lagos before nightfall, maintaining consistency across the network. In addition, Air Peace will maintain daily daytime flights between Lagos and Accra. These services are complemented by additional evening frequencies on selected days, offering flexibility while preserving the airline’s broader daylight-focused operating philosophy.
The transition to daytime flights is expected to significantly enhance passenger comfort, particularly on multi-leg regional journeys. Travellers will benefit from reduced fatigue, clearer arrival schedules, and improved access to airport services on arrival. Furthermore, daytime operations typically experience fewer slot constraints and ground delays, supporting improved punctuality. For the wider region, the daytime flights strategy strengthens economic and institutional connectivity across West and Central Africa. Business travellers, diplomats, and development partners are expected to benefit from schedules that support same-day meetings and onward travel.
