– Air Peace has made a significant nonstop flight from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja to Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in Basseterre, St. Kitts & Nevis’s, an Island situated in the Atlantic Ocean in North America.

A statement on Saturday morning by the airline, said that the non-stop flight was operated on June 12, 2025 for 10 hours with its Boeing 777 aircraft.

The operation marked the first-ever Nigerian dateline on St. Kitts & Nevis’s arrivals board.

According to the airline, flight was arranged for a Pan-African business conference in the Eastern Caribbean with delegations from Nigeria.

It said this underscored its growing trajectory and strategic foray into the global market.

The St. Kitts & Nevis flight was the airline’s third foray into the Caribbean in five years.

On 21 December 2020, the carrier operated an 11-hour flight from Lagos to Montego Bay, establishing the first nonstop link between Nigeria and Jamaica, and showcasing the long-range potential of Air Peace’s then-new triple-seven fleet.

On 5 August 2023, another Boeing 777 carried investors and carnival-goers from Lagos to V.C. Bird International Airport in Antigua & Barbuda, earning Air Peace the distinction of being the first Nigerian airline to land in the twin-island state.

The current flight relied on one of Air Peace’s two B777 aircraft, which also sustain the airline’s daily Lagos–London Gatwick schedule launched on 30 March 2024.

In his comment, Dr. Allen Onyema, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Air Peace, said that more long-haul aircraft were on the way for the airline.

In April 2024, he told had told the media that the airline was finalising acquisitions that would underpin the Abuja–London route, as well as planned services to Houston and New York.

With the St. Kitts success logged, there is a resounding theme from Air Peace: ‘Nigeria to the world—no stops, no limits.’

“The Abuja–St. Kitts flight is more than a one-off achievement; it is another proof-point in Air Peace’s steady bid to transform from a regional champion into a global contender, carried aloft on the wings of Africa’s most populous nation,” the statement added.
