Asky adds Niger link

ASKY, the new start up carrier based in Togo, and owned by Ethiopian Airlines will launch new scheduled service to Niamey, Niger. The new route will be effective from March 1 and operated on a 3x weekly rotation with an extension to Bamako, Mali. The new service will be a triangular service replacing the non-stop Lome-Bamako sector.

The route will be operated with B737 aircraft. Togo does not currently have a strong national carrier with Ethiopian hoping that Asky will become the market leader in Togo.
