West and Central Africa’s largest airline, Air Peace, made a historic non stop flight on 12 June 2025, from Abuja to St. Kitts, in a bid to expanding Africa ‘s Global Reach.
The airline deployed one of its Boeing 777 aircraft, which took off from Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and, ten unbroken hours later, touched down at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in Basseterre—marking the first-ever Nigerian dateline on St. Kitts & Nevis’s arrivals board.
The milestone service, arranged for a Pan-African business conference in the Eastern Caribbean, carried delegations from Nigeria, thereby underscoring the airline’s growing trajectory and strategic foray into the global market.
The St. Kitts & Nevis flight is the airline’s third foray into the Caribbean in five years.
This AirPeace ‘s service to St. Kitts & Nevis,shows that the airline has completed a triad of firsts, establishing direct access to three key Caribbean territories.
Chairman and CEO, AirPeace , Dr. Allen Onyema, had hinted in a TV show in 2024, that more long-haul aircraft are on the way, adding that the airline is finalising acquisitions that will underpin the Abuja–London route, as well as planned services to Houston and New York.
Following 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.
