ASKY Airlines yesterday resumed full services into Nigeria.
This follows a series of meetings between top management of the airline,
health experts and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), which
suspended the airline’s operations into Nigeria in order to curtail the spread
of the dreaded Ebola virus in Nigeria.
ASKY’s daily flights are however to resume successfully after a
satisfactory report has been submitted with documentary evidence indicating a
clear road map on all measures taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
According to the letter from NCAA, “Having carefully examined these measures
put in place by your airline especially the suspension of flights into Ebola
infected countries, the management of NCAA has lifted the temporary suspension
placed on your flight into and out of Nigeria”.
The commercial director of ASKY Airlines, Mr Nowel Ngala, who was
present in Lagos, expressed great happiness that the airline was finally handed
the right to continue to fly into Nigeria. He stated further that the Nigerian
market is key to the airline as it operates daily services to Nigeria and also
ensures that Nigeria is well connected to West and Central African markets and
the rest of the world from Lome together with its strategic partner, the
Ethiopian Airlines.
“We are very much aware of all the inconveniences this has caused our
dear customers and the travel public a large, especially those who had
commenced their journey before the suspension was imposed. We continue to hold
our numerous customers within and outside Nigeria in high esteem with services
that are targeted at making their travel experiences a memorable one.”
He urged customers to visit their local travel agencies and ASKY offices
to reconfirm their tickets and/or get further information to reschedule their
journey. ASKY Airlines flies to 22 destinations in West and Central Africa.
