effective 05 september , ethiopian airlines in cooperation with its partner asky airlines will introduce new connectivity between west africa and ethiopian’s worldwide network .
asky airlines based in lomé , togo and shareholder , ethiopian airlines are planning to establish an aircraft mro and training center in west africa .

in line with the lufthansa group africa strategy , which foresees a close collaboration among the group’s airlines that operate in africa , brussels airlines will cease its flights to nairobi ( kenya ) as from the end of october .
starting 26 october brussels airlines will operate flights to accra , the capital of ghana , four times weekly . ghana is one of the fastest - growing african countries , both economically and in terms of tourism . accra is brussels airlines’ 16th destination in west africa .
asky’s new schedule , introduced on 21 - may - 2016 as the são paulo flights resumed , facilitates quick connections for both são paulo and newark . in some cases the new schedule also reduces transit times for travel within west africa and for connecting passengers flying into west africa on ethiopian from east africa and asia .
asky currently serves 19 destinations ( including lome ) across 16 west african countries ( including togo ) . ethiopian has used asky and lome airport in togo as its hub for west africa since asky launched in early 2010 .
expected to be particularly strong markets . mr gebrermariam said that ethiopian expects strong point of sale results from both west africa and the us , pointing out that there is a large west african community in the new york area .
ethiopian airlines , one of the largest and fastest growing airlines in africa , made its maiden flight to cairo in 1946 . with the recent addition of flight services to pointe noire , ethiopian provides dependable services to 39 cities in africa and a total of 59 international destinations spanning throughout four continents .
the enhanced cooperation between asky and ethiopian airlines will make connectivity between west africa and ethiopian’s vast network throughout east africa , the middle east , and asia , including such destinations as bombay , hong kong , bangkok , dubai , jeddah , riyadh , beirut , cairo , tel aviv , and nairobi .
belgian national carrier , brussels airlines , is to further expand its activities in west africa from winter 2015 / 2016 with frequency increases to a number of existing destinations and a brand new route to accra , the capital of ghana .
one reason for the lack of flights between major west african cities is the collapse of regional airlines such as ghana airways , air senegal and many in nigeria .
it was established in 2008 but does not yet connect all west african countries .

one expert in the aviation industry says the passenger flow in west africa is
pretty low
, so it does not make business sense to fly some routes .
while it is true that many west africans cannot afford to fly , the middle - class is increasing and if prices were lower , more people would develop the habit of flying and so it might become profitable for airlines to link west african cities before too long .
there are currently only 33 weekly nonstop flights from the us and west africa , including 14 frequencies from delta air lines , seven from united airlines , seven from south african airways ( saa ) , three from nigeria’s arik air and two from cape verde ’s tacv .
. historically , a large share of this traffic has been travelling within west africa . asky will continue to grow its share of the local west african market as its overall capacity increases but the new brazil and us connections will be the biggest driver of traffic growth .
there are also schedule changes in east africa from winter 2015 / 2016 for the european flag carrier . for the first time in its history , brussels airlines will offer direct flights on both the outbound and the inbound flights between brussels and the rwandan capital kigali . however , in line with the lufthansa group africa strategy , which foresees a close collaboration among the group’s airlines that operate in africa , brussels airlines will cease its own flights to nairobi ( kenya ) from the end of october as lufthansa resumes its own flights to the kenyan capital from frankfurt .
ethiopian was the winner of the ‘2008 best airline in africa award’ at the african travel award ceremony in lagos , nigeria , for its excellent network and convenient connections in africa .
several african countries established national airlines after independence , mainly focusing on flights to destinations outside the continent .

united provided approximately 3 , 000 weekly seats in the west african market while ethiopian’s newark service will generate 1 , 620 weekly seats , with approximately 1 , 000 weekly seats available for the us - west african market . total capacity in the us - west africa market has dropped significantly in recent years and will reach a new low point after united withdraws – ethiopian will only partially offset the reduction from united .

british airways do not offer a company travel loyalty programme in the us but our partner american airlines does .
west africa is an underserved market from new york and the us generally – forcing most passengers to fly via europe . ethiopian is confident that the new route will succeed as it will provide a new faster – and in many cases a more affordable – option for passengers heading between new york and several west african countries .
as from september , the brussels airlines flight offer to west africa will be expanded with increased flight frequencies to several existing destinations . lomé ( togo ) will be operated four times instead of twice weekly . in addition , cotonou ( benin ) and ouagadougou ( burkina faso ) will be served three times instead of twice weekly .

gabriel started his aviation career as a management trainee with lufthansa german airlines in 1973 . he worked consistently in the aviation industry since then , serving at various capacities such as assistant manager with lufthansa german airlines , deputy general manager with varig brazilian airline .
the current regional expansion could finally be a springboard to launching new routes outside west africa – johannesburg is under consideration – and potentially outside africa . asky now has the regional network – needed to feed any new medium or long haul services – to take a stab at intercontinental flights . however , such expansion will face challenges , and could prove risky .
los angeles , which was launched in 2015 , is only viable with a stop in dublin in both directions . after experimenting with nonstop flights to são paulo , ethiopian has learned that the route is only viable with a stop in west africa .
safety has also been an issue because of comparatively high accident rates , and regulators outside africa have imposed heavy restrictions .
asky and ethiopian combined currently account for almost 80 % of total seat capacity at lome airport . their share of the lome market will expand even further as both airlines add capacity at lome in the coming months . lome currently only has regular services from five other airlines .
the ethiopian - asky partnership has been highly successful , with ethiopian using asky to feed its lome flights and some of its other west african services . asky is now profitable , and ethiopian in recent years has been by far the most profitable airline in africa .

ethiopian resumed services from lome to são paulo in may - 2016 and plans to launch services from lome to newark in early jul - 2016 . asky is playing a critical feeder role for both long haul routes and its expansion also enables it to increase its share of the intra - west africa market .
mr gebremariam told capa that the nonstop flight from addis ababa to são paulo did not work due to payload limitations from addis ababa and the weak economy in brazil . with the stop in lome there are no payload limitations and ethiopian can carry passengers in the growing west africa - brazil market using asky .
even some african airlines with good safety records are blocked from flying to the european union ( eu ) airports because of a lack of confidence in african safety regulators .
ethiopian airlines is building up its west african operation , through expansion at the togo - based affiliate asky and new long haul services from lome to new york and são paulo . asky is adding capacity to several of its 19 destinations as it takes delivery of two 737 - 800s , which will be the largest aircraft in its fleet .
some west african states have tried to address this by setting up a new airline , asky , based in the togolese capital , lome where a massive airport expansion is underway .
brussels airlines guests can , however , continue to fly comfortably to the kenyan capital thanks to the flight offer from swiss and the new connection offered by lufthansa starting this autumn .
from this winter season , for the first time in its history , brussels airlines will offer direct flights on both the outbound and the inbound flights between brussels and the rwandan capital kigali .
ethiopian now needs the lome hub to support newark and são paulo , neither of which would likely be viable routes without the stop in togo and significant feed from west africa . ethiopian is keen to grow further in the americas – with chicago and houston the most likely next new destinations – but there is insufficient demand to support new nonstop services from addis ababa .
the newark flight alone should generate more than 700 incremental passengers per week for asky , based on ethiopian’s expectation for west africa transfers and an average load factor of 75 % on lome - newark . this is significant when considering that asky currently has approximately 12 , 000 weekly seats in the lome market . lome accounts for approximately 60 % of asky’s total seat capacity .
the african network has been critical in enabling ethiopian’s rapid growth over the last several years , particularly in asia . ethiopian currently operates passenger services to 11 destinations in asia , six of which have been launched since 2011 . the asian network , which is expected to grow to 15 destinations over the next year , relies heavily on connections beyond ethiopia – including to west africa .
however , i would have needed to stay overnight in abidjan , and possibly another night in dakar to be able catch brussels airlines which is virtually the only reliable means of flying to banjul from the senegalese capital .
hello . sorry to hear you feel that way . i used the photo because its the only photo of a west african airline that i had taken and that was available at the time . hope that clarifies .
delta operates daily atlanta - lagos services , four weekly flights from new york jfk to accra , and three weekly flights from new york jfk to dakar . united currently has a daily flight from houston to lagos but is dropping the service , its only african route , on 30 - jun - 2016 . this leaves a void in the us - west africa market which will partially be filled with ethiopian’s new service to newark .
as from the end of october , brussels airlines will fly four times a week to ghana’s capital , accra . the flights will be operated on mondays , wednesdays , fridays and saturdays , with a morning departure from brussels and an evening return from accra . the flight schedule allows for smooth connections to many of brussels airlines’ european destinations and the united states , including to the uk , denmark , germany , france and new york , via brussels airport .

and is looking at both options . however , with togo ethiopian has the opportunity to carry passengers from several west african countries and meet its overall strategic goal of building up the group’s lome hub while expanding its leading pan - african presence .
the food . for the sake of loyalty , i will always pick ghana in a jollof war against nigeria . but when it comes down to it , senegal’s tchieboudienne offers a way more interesting range of taste – from the subtle sweetness of tomatoes to the slightly acrid taste of lemons and ground hibiscus leaves , ’and the supple softness of steamed vegetables and fish . that and the fact that they have more of a historic claim to west africa’s contested dish .
“we are extremely happy to add ghana to our african network - the country is currently not directly connected to brussels airport , ” says brussels airlines vp sales africa philippe saeys . “this is good news both for the growing number of passengers that travel to or from ghana , and for cargo clients . as well as offering comfortable travel options between accra , brussels airport and europe , this connection will also contribute to the growing trade relations between belgium and ghana . ”
ethiopian won the nepad transport infrastructure excellence awards 2009 on november 25 , 2009 and
airline of the year
award from the african airlines association ( afraa ) on november 24 , 2009 , bringing the total awards honored since january 2009 to five .
that was on saturday . “call me on monday and let me know if you still want to return to dakar , ” aicha teased . monday came , but i had no response for her . i was sitting at gate 4 of the léopold sédar senghor international airport waiting for an air côte d’ivoire flight back to accra after asky airlines “delayed” my return , not once , but twice . my sunday jet eye morning flight with asky airlines turned into a monday morning flight turned into a no - show . not because of a technical issue or because i mixed up the flight schedule . no , that would be too gracious . both my flights were “delayed” or rather , rescheduled , because asky airlines was late . on their own schedule . ironic , yes . but by no means surprising .
“this is an important investment in our african presence and a clear sign of trust in the economic and touristic development of the region” , says brussels airlines chief commercial lars redeligx . “we offer our growing number of guests more frequencies in order to offer more flexibility . ”
gabriel’s deep and wide aviation industry experience has made him an acknowledged expert in airlines and aviation business management . he has provided varied consultancy services in these areas and is an author of many aviation industry related publications . he’s currently the president aviation safety round table initiative .
arik air ' s executive jet charter division offers guests a combination of flexibility , comfort , safety , convenience and value for personalised air travel throughout nigeria and africa . in the private charter industry , the airline has achieved a superb reputation for our services .
“this is an important investment in our african presence and a clear sign of trust in the economic and touristic development of the region , ” said lars redeligx , chief commercial officer , brussels airlines . “we offer our growing number of guests more frequencies in order to offer more flexibility . ”
lome airport recently opened a new terminal with capacity for 2 . 5 million annual passengers . the new terminal and a planned new airport that could open next decade are part of an initiative by the togolese government to position lome as a hub for africa and beyond .
this service will provide an important new link between europe and ghana and provide star alliance and its members a stronger presence in this developing market . british airways , iberia , klm and lufthansa currently provide hub links into accra , while vueling airlines will introduce a new service between barcelona and accra later this month .
i first heard about arik air during the 2010 harvard business conference . i was excited , as were many of my friends ; arik air seemed innovative , youthful and edgy . they seemed genuine about wanting to help solve west africa’s air travel woes and what’s more , they went a step further to connect with the us - based diaspora . six years later , i was less than enthusiastic about traveling with arik to cotonou . the accounts of customer dissatisfaction later – including one about passengers locked up on a plane without air conditioning – were many as well the warnings against flying arik .
flying between the west african capitals of freetown and banjul should take about an hour . but as the bbc ' s umaru fofana found out , because of the region ' s poor air connections , it can be quicker and easier to fly via morocco or belgium , although that could take a day , or even three .
ethiopian currently has its own services to 16 of aky’s 19 destinations ; bangui , bissau and conakry are asky’s only exclusive destinations . however , asky’s role in the 16 overlapping destinations is significant as it has enabled ethiopian to provide greater frequency and more options for its passengers originating in east africa and asia .
ethiopian initially aimed to serve new york jfk but mr gebremariam said the airline was unable to secure slots at jfk . he said ethiopian could later move the togo - newark flight to jfk or potentially launch jfk to supplement newark . he said that jfk is generally the preferred , or more convenient , airport for new york’s west african community .
travel . exhilarating , eye - opening , enriching . but sometimes it can be downright annoying – especially where travel in africa is concerned . over the past two years i’ve taken numerous trips across the continent i call home ; the majority for work , some on my own dime , each unique in its own way . my most recent visit to africa’s western most city was my fourth ; i was excited to explore not just the intellectual crannies of the youth conference i was attending , but also the simple delights of what is easily one of my top three african cities : dakar . it felt like coming home .
a flourishing economy thanks to oil and cocoa , a growing touristic potential and a population that is known for its friendliness and hospitality… with ghana , brussels airlines adds one of the most important up and coming african countries to its network . the gdp continues to grow steadily , trade relations are booming and the number of foreign visitors and tourists increases year after year .

ethiopian’s investment in asky and its other african affiliate , malawian , is key to the airline’s objective to continue growing its presence in africa . ethiopian already has the largest african network , with 47 regional international destinations – or 50 , when asky’s three exclusive destinations are included – along with 17 domestic connections ( based on oag data for the week commencing 13 - jun - 2016 ) .
he has attended several professional training courses and served on several expert groups , committees , and panels including the ministerial committee on restructuring of nigeria airways limited in september 2001 , ministerial technical committee on the establishment of a new flag carrier in august 2003 , chairman of the agency investigation panel ( a . i . p ) for western africa , and member of ecowas parliament committee on implementation of yammousoukro treaty .
“we are extremely happy to add ghana to our african network - the country is currently not directly connected to brussels airport , ” said philippe saeys , vice president sales , brussels airlines . “this is good news both for the growing number of passengers that travel to or from ghana , and for cargo clients . as well as offering comfortable travel options between accra , brussels airport and europe , this connection will also contribute to the growing trade relations between belgium and ghana . ”
passengers from freetown , monrovia , conakry , cotonou , abidjan , banjul and niamey will have more and improved connectivity to addis ababa , east africa , the middle east , and asia with asky’s new flights . specifically , cotonou will get daily connectivity to ethiopian’s network , and abidjan will get six weekly connections , three via asky aircraft and three via ethiopian aircraft . on this date , ethiopian will transfer its operations at monrovia to asky .

i recently had to travel to the gambia on a reporting trip for the bbc .
in theory , this journey of 700km ( 400 miles ) should take about an hour and the gambia is a popular tourist destination , which is served by charter flights from across europe .
but there are just two flights a week from freetown and the days didn ' t fit with my trip .
one option would have been to fly with royal air maroc via casablanca , where there can be a stopover of 30 hours with no automatic entitlement to hotel accommodation .
so it is actually quicker , but far more expensive , to fly to belgium ' s capital brussels and then connect to banjul .
another option would have been with air cote d ' ivoire , a relatively new kid on the aviation block .
this would have meant flying via its hub in abidjan , then to dakar and onward to banjul .
in the end , the best option was to drive from freetown to conakry , before flying to dakar , senegal ' s capital , where i spent the night to get my connecting flight to banjul the following day .
i spent two days travelling for a trip that should have taken me just over an hour .
my return leg was even more exhausting . i flew from banjul to dakar , spent the night and flew on the next evening to conakry .
i had to spend another night in guinea ' s capital before driving to freetown on the third day .
most of them were businesspeople who complained about the hassle , saying it made travel more expensive .
this has a concomitant effect - the high costs of goods and services ,
lamented a middle - aged retailer from freetown who buys her goods in guinea for sale in bo , southern sierra leone .
omodele jones , a businessman based in the gambia , told me he had to change his ticket to fly from banjul via brussels to nairobi because his airline had cancelled its flight to dakar , where he was initially scheduled to connect to the kenyan capital .
it would have cost me a lot of time - which is a lot of money - to have waited another two days at least to fly to nairobi via dakar ,
omodele jones told me .
many of these carriers were propped up financially and protected by regulation , stifling competition and leaving domestic and regional routes undeveloped for a long time .
another factor is that some african countries have still not opened up their skies to each other - allowed other countries ' carries to use their airports - yet they have opened up to carriers from other continents .
as a result , it is often cheaper to fly from an african city via london , amsterdam , or dubai and back to a neighbouring african city than to travel direct .
the single african air transport market ( saatm ) , a policy of the african union , is due to be introduced this year .
implementing the saatm , which is similar to the eu ' s single aviation market , would go a long way towards making african air travel more competitive by reducing protectionist policies .
half a century after independence , many african countries still have better transport links with their former colonial powers than their neighbours .
there are several flights a day from former british colony the gambia to london , but very few to neighbouring senegal .
senegal ' s capital , dakar , is of course well served with flights to its former colonial master , france .
the man , who did not want to be named , says with
a more sensible and business - friendly tax regime
the situation would improve .
let me explain to you about our ticket to london . the ticket cost $ 825 and our own actual price without tax is $ 350 , which shows that over $ 500 tax has been levied on the ticket .
in the meantime , the idea of free movement of goods and services as envisioned by the founding heads of state of the regional body ecowas will remain a pipe - dream .

how much is a two - bedroom apartment in an okay part of town ? ” i asked my friend aicha . her eyes lit up ; she’s been trying to get me to move to dakar for the past year and a half , and honestly i might have if not for the fact that my other friend came not just with a proposition to leave abidjan for accra , but also with a room in a house and a guarantee that ghana’s electricity crisis only occasionally paid our neighborhood a visit . that and the fact that accra has the highest density of the people i call family . aicha tells me how much she pays . it’s half what i currently pay for rent . that’s it , i’m moving back to dakar !

“to be honest , the visa is not the main hurdle to intra - african tourism – africans still make it to countries with extremely tight visa restrictions on us – it’s the fact that a barely 1 - hour flight from lagos to douala costs nearly $ 500 and that’s one of the cheapest flights you can take from lagos anywhere . ”

asky took delivery of its first 737 - 800 in early jun - 2016 , giving it a fleet of eight aircraft including three 737 - 700s and four bombardier dash 8 q400s . asky plans to take delivery of a second 737 - 800 by the end of 2016 , which will be used to replace one of its dash 8 q400s , driving a further increase in capacity .
asky commenced operations in 2010 , with ethiopian as a strategic partner . ethiopian has a 40 % stake in asky and all of asky’s aircraft are registered in ethiopia . asky launched with 118 - seat two - class 737 - 700s and added all four of its q400s – which are in two - class 71 - seat configuration – in late 2012 and 2013 .
the ethiopian ceo , tewolde gebrermariam , told capa on the sidelines of the 1 - jun - 2016 iata annual general meeting in dublin that two 737 - 800s would be added to asky’s fleet by the end of 2016 . the first 737 - 800 , which was delivered in early - jun - 2016 in 164 - seat two - class configuration , is being used for growth ahead of ethiopian’s launch of services between lome and newark .
the second 737 - 800 will replace one of asky’s four q400s , giving asky a fleet of five 737s ( three - 700s and two - 800s ) and three q400s . the q400 will be returned to ethiopian .
the 737 - 800s represents significant expansion for asky as the capacity of its fleet increases by 40 % , from 638 total seats to 895 total seats . asky is adding capacity to several of its existing destinations through a combination of additional frequencies and upgauging existing frequencies .
asky has already upgauged lome - dakar from the 737 - 700 to the 737 - 800 and added frequencies on several routes , including lome - abidjan . the second 737 - 800 will generate further capacity increases as flights are upgauged from the q400 to 737 - 700 , and from the 737 - 700 to the 737 - 800 .
abidjan and dakar are among the asky destinations that will connect with ethiopian’s new thrice weekly lome - new york service . ethiopian is also selling one - stop connections from new york to bamako , bissau , brazzaville , conakry , douala , kinshasa , lagos , libreville , n ' djamena , niamey , ouagadougou and yaoundé . asky has introduced a new schedule on several routes to facilitate connections to and from newark .
arik operates three weekly flights from lagos to new york jfk and tacv operates two weekly flights from its praia base to providence in rhode island , a niche ethnic route catering to local point - to - point demand . saa operates four weekly accra - washington dulles and three weekly dakar - washington dulles flights , all of which originate in johannesburg . saa is looking at a potential new fifth freedom route from nigeria to new york , which could pose new competition for ethiopian .
all three of the lome - newark frequencies will originate in addis ababa and be operated with 270 - seat two class 787 - 8s . ethiopian also uses the 787 - 8 to operate three weekly flights on an addis ababa - lome - são paulo routing .
ethiopian resumed lome - são paulo service on 21 - may - 2016 . ethiopian had suspended lome - são paulo one year earlier , in may 2015 , when it launched nonstop flights from addis ababa to são paulo .
ethiopian initially launched services to brazil in 2013 on a addis ababa - lome - rio de janeiro - são paulo - lome - addis ababa routing . ethiopian dropped the rio de janeiro stop in 2014 , leaving it with a addis ababa - lome - são paulo - lome - addis ababa route which it now , again , operates . ( ethiopian maintained service on the addis ababa - lome route using 737s during the period that são paulo was served nonstop from addis ababa . )
ethiopian’s lome - são paulo and são paulo - lome flights will have identical arrival and departure times in lome as the newark flights . the são paulo flight departs lome at 1305 on monday , wednesday and saturday and lands back in lome at 1130 on tuesday , thursday and sunday . the newark flight will depart lome at 1300 on tuesday , thursday and sunday and land back at lome at 1130 on wednesday , friday and monday . the schedule therefore provides the same regional connections to brazil as for us passengers , but on different days of the week .
asky also operates fifth freedom routes from 11 other destinations . most of these destinations are larger local markets than togo but the biggest near - term opportunities for growth are in togo , due to the expansion by ethiopian in lome .
over the past several years asky has repeatedly expressed interest in launching intercontinental services from lome . asky has been considering launching services from lome to europe .
ethiopian’s other two existing destinations in the americas – toronto and washington dulles – have the benefit of drawing from much larger ethiopian communities and are likely the only markets able to support nonstop flights . ( ethiopian has a fuel stop in dublin on flights to toronto and washington but purely for operational reasons , due to the high altitude of addis ababa , and operates the return sectors from toronto and washington nonstop . )
