Central Africa: Air Peace Expands Central Africa Network, Launches Lagos-Douala-Libreville Route

What the report says

Air Peace Limited has launched inaugural service on a new Lagos-Douala-Libreville route, expanding its regional network into Cameroon and Gabon. The report, published by This Day and distributed by AllAfrica, says the airline is positioning the new connection as part of a broader effort to improve intra-African air links and make Lagos a more important hub for travel within West and Central Africa.

According to the article, the airline’s delegation was received at Douala International Airport by representatives of the Nigerian consulate, the Nigerian community, airport security and aviation authorities. Speakers at the welcome ceremony praised the new route for its potential to improve mobility, support business and tourism, and strengthen ties between Nigeria and Cameroon. The delegation then continued to Libreville, where officials from Gabon’s civil aviation and airport authorities also welcomed the service.

Air Peace said the route adds to its growing network and offers passengers more options to connect from its domestic services through Lagos to regional destinations and, eventually, further international points. The company framed the launch as part of its strategy to promote trade, cultural exchange and economic activity across the continent. The article notes that the new route came a day after the airline began Lagos-Conakry-Bamako operations, highlighting a quick pace of expansion. More broadly, the development reflects continuing efforts by African carriers to strengthen direct links between secondary regional markets.
