ASKY acquires 10th aircraft, expands flight schedule from October 1

ASKY Airline is expected to take delivery of its 10th Aircraft on the 1st of October, 2021. Also on the same day, the airline plans to restructure its flight schedule with increased frequencies to most of its current markets for optimum service delivery, the company disclosed in a statement.

The 10th aircraft is a Boeing 737-800 with a capacity of 16 business class and 138 economy class seats. It is designed to offer customers comfort and style in the air. Entry to service of this aircraft has been highly anticipated to give more flexibility to meet the travel needs of our passengers.

In addition to this, ASKY’s flight restructuring is coming on the heels of the need to improve connectivity, increase frequencies and provide same day seamless connection with very short transit time at its hub in Lome, Togo.

From Oct 1, Abuja, Bamako, Conakry, Monrovia and N’djamena will have daily flights and Accra will have double daily flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
