Pan African carrier, Asky Airlines, on Thursday, November 19, resumed its Accra- Lomé-Johannesburg flights.

With just one hour connecting time, the daily service makes ASKY the main airline connecting West Africa with the South Africa capital, Johannesburg post-COVID-19 lockdown.

Country Manager of Asky Airlines, Mr. Worlanyo Afadzinu, told AviationGhana that: “We used to operate via LAGOS and Douala or Libreville to Johannesburg but with the new schedule, the flight is direct for Lomé to Johannesburg thereby reducing the travel time for passengers from other parts of Central Africa and West Africa, particularly Accra. Johannesburg – South Africa will have a seamless connection to ASKY’s vast network covering all of West and Central Africa markets with daily non-stop flights from Lomé.”

The flight departs Accra’s Kotoka International Airport at 10:40 am arriving at Lomé’s Gnassingbé Eyadéma International Airport at 11:45 am. The Lomé-Johannesburg flight also departs Lomé at 12:45 pm, arriving in Johannesburg at 19 :50pm.
