According to centreforaviation, ASKY Airlines is turning its attention to expanding south, in search of more lucrative routes from its home base in Lome, Togo, to the likes of Angola and South Africa.
ASKY Airlines is 40% owned by Ethiopian Airlines and operates to 22 destinations, with Bissau to be added from July. ASKY is not currently connected to Southern Africa, but neighbouring hub Accra offers services to Windhoek and Johannesburg.
Lagos in Nigeria has connections to Johannesburg and Luanda. Bissau will initially be served twice weekly via two routes: Lome-Abidjan-Conakry-Bissau and Lome-Bamako-Dakar-Bissau. Overall frequencies between Lome and Bissau are expected to increase to five times weekly by January.
ASKY CEO Busera Awel has reportedly stated that services to Europe could commence in 2014 or 2015. This would most likely initially be to Paris, in light of to the country’s historic ties to France.
The codeshare arrangement between ASKY and Ethiopian will be extended to Ethiopian’s three times weekly Addis Ababa-Lome-Rio De Janeiro-Sao Paulo-Lome-Addis Ababa service, now planned to commence 1 July, after being delayed by a month.
