In a landmark move that promises to deepen ties between Africa and the Caribbean, Air Peace, West and Central Africa’s largest airline, has announced the launch of monthly direct commercial flights linking Lagos (Nigeria) and Accra (Ghana) to Antigua and Barbados, beginning December 21, 2025.
This groundbreaking development makes Air Peace the first African airline to offer direct air service between these regions, a feat expected to transform tourism, trade, and cultural relations across both continents.
According to the airline, the new service represents far more than a flight path—it’s a bridge connecting shared histories and future opportunities. “This historic route will strengthen economic and social bonds between Africa and the Caribbean, opening new channels for investment, tourism, and cultural exchange,” Air Peace said in a statement.
The move follows the airline’s previous successful Caribbean operations, including the Lagos–Montego Bay (Jamaica) charter in 2020 and the Abuja–St. Kitts & Nevis service earlier in 2025.
These ventures have paved the way for sustained connectivity between Africa and the Caribbean, demonstrating Air Peace’s commitment to “bringing Africa closer to the world.”
Under the new arrangement, the airline will operate monthly flights from Lagos and Accra to Antigua and Barbados, providing seamless travel options for tourists, business travellers, and members of the African diaspora eager to reconnect with the Caribbean.
To enhance the travel experience, Air Peace has also partnered with Tour Brokers International (Nigeria), Sun Seekers Tours (Ghana), and Adansi Travels (Ghana) to curate exclusive tour packages for passengers. These offerings are designed to showcase the rich heritage, natural beauty, and hospitality of both destinations.
Bookings for the new route are now open on the Air Peace website and through accredited travel agents. With this launch, Air Peace not only expands its global footprint but also marks a significant step in fostering unity and shared prosperity between Africa and the Caribbean
