Africa world airlines considers increasing flight frequency to Nigeria

Africa World Airlines (AWA), Ghana’s leading airline and longest-serving carrier on the Lagos – Accra route, has disclosed plans to increase flight frequency into Nigeria.

Speaking at a Trade Partners’ Forum and Award Reception, Kingsley Chima, the Airline’s Country Manager in Lagos, said; “Since recovering from Covid, we have been struggling to return to 5 flights daily. However, our immediate goal is to take it to 3 daily flights and we plan to restore the early morning flights out of Accra and Lagos. We are here today and have survived this long because you supported us and keep supporting us and we would like to thank you.”

Jonathan Kofi Appiah, Head Commercial noted that it is often said that most airlines that operate on the Lagos – Accra route only survive for between 5 and 10 years at most. However, Africa World Airlines did both by surpassing both limits and continues to provide excellent, safe and secure services to its esteemed guests.

“We pride ourselves as the leading carrier on the route with an impressive on-time performance. This is because we always do all we can to ensure that our flights depart and arrive on schedule at our various destinations. And shortly we hope to offer our guests more travel options with plans to commence flights to Port Harcourt,” Mr Appiah said.

Aaron Nortey, the Airline’s Sales and Marketing Manager, said; “Our values at AWA is to be a safe, efficient, punctual, cost-conscious and reliable airline that is committed to offering the best service.”

He used to forum to highlight the airline’s products as well as to address issues and challenges being faced by its trade partners. These ranged from issues with name corrections, voiding of tickets, the airline’s change policy as well as challenges with refunds.
