Air Peace has started direct commercial flights between Lagos and Barbados in a move aimed at improving air connectivity between Africa and the Caribbean.
In a post on X on Monday, the airline confirmed the successful operation of its inaugural scheduled commercial service on the Lagos–Barbados route on May 24.
“Yesterday, we successfully operated a historic direct commercial service between Nigeria and the Caribbean, connecting people, businesses, cultures and opportunities like never before,” Air Peace said.
“With over 284 passengers onboard the inaugural Lagos–Barbados flight, this milestone marks another bold step in strengthening Africa-Caribbean connectivity while reducing the stress of multiple stopovers and transit visa hurdles.”
According to the airline, the new service is expected to ease longstanding travel difficulties faced by passengers moving between Africa and the Caribbean.
Air Peace said the route would reduce “the burden of multiple stopovers, lengthy transit times, and complex visa requirements associated with connecting through several foreign destinations.”
The airline added that the Lagos-Barbados connection would provide “a more direct and convenient travel option for tourists, business travelers, diaspora communities, and cultural exchange initiatives across both regions.
