What was the reason behind ET8801 from Guatemala to Addis Ababa via Dakar and Goma?
Jump to postEK A380 to Sao diverted to ACC today.
Good to see A380 again in ACC
Since the 1980's ACC has always had the evening rush hour. LOS very similar. Yes, I will grant you that. Most hubs in Europe/North America require night time departures from West Africa to connect onward, but I remember distinctly that ACC did not have United, Delta or Air France back then. You cou...

Jump to postI believe it was implemented by the African Union but you are correct about it being a farce. The problem is that many member states have just ignored it in the interest of protecting local carriers and the AU has no enforcement mechanism. Thanks for the clarification.

Jump to postI still remember as a little kid in Accra, they use to fly their russian plane via sofia, tripoli, Sabha(i think), then either lome or niamey!
Jump to postThey been talking for over 3 years to fly to ACC but.... never happened
Jump to postI do recall over 20 years ago there use to be an airline i believe called Inter Air flying similar route with a 727 to JNB via FIH, LBV etc. I think the route started in Cotonou.
Jump to postSurprised not via ACC with the new venture ET been trying to set up in Accra. They could do the same they done with SAA, connect local traffic via Africa world airlines. Their LFW-LAX failed, i believed they moved some of their NYC to ABJ instead of LFW where passengers connect with Air Cote D'Ivoire.
Jump to postAWA is to start ACCRA-LONDON soon according to a recent interview with the Ghana's minister of aviation.
Anyone got anymore info?
SV can do very well in western africa with destinations such as KAD, ACC, NIM, LOS, BKO.
They currently only fly to Kano with a 747.
Cargo operates into LOS and ACC

Malta to Addis? Sounds like a great way to lose money.

Jump to postIts a shame not via ACC as they plan to open a new airline here. Instead of ABJ. I am wondering if SA flying JHB-ACC-IAD played into their decision. Just spitballing. Last 24hours AWA agreed with SAA to feed the ACC-IAD from LOS/ABV. Back in march 2018, ET was granted 5th freedom for Accra-Texas as...

Jump to postLooks like TAP is operating 8 weekly flights into Accra.
Jump to postI believe the Air belgium operated to Cameroon or Brazzaville and received bad criticism due to it being sub-standard.
SAA adding extra capacity to IAD via Acc ( 5 weekly), this bring the total weekly flights between JNB-ACC to 9.
Brussels airlines will be going daily to Accra.
JNB-ACC going up to 9 weekly with the extra addition ACC-IAD as stated above.
AF will be sending thier 787 to ABJ instead of A380
I don't know that I'd consider west Africa from BEY a long haul flight that needs a long range widebody. While it's 200ish miles further, TK flies IST-DKR and much of west Africa with 738/9 equipment. They use their A332 due to demand on cargo. QR flies a weekly DOH-LOS-ACC-BEY-DOH cargo! I did a f...
Jump to postGiven that ET is in Star Alliance, could we see them introduce first flights to MUC or FRA?

Jump to postA330-900 seems larger and more range then MEA needs. Are JFK, GRU, Tokyo or Hong Kong on their horizon ? Just because the plane has long range doesn’t mean it can only operate 10h flights. Many A330-200s, 777-300ERs etc do medium haul or even short haul. And btw MEA do have a handful of long range ...

Jump to postIs that why they applied for IAH-ACC? For what i recall its a city in texas, IAH would make more sense.

Seem like Accra is getting extra flights with ET interested in a hub there.
Rumours a few of ASKY aircraft are heading to mazambique. Would be good if their west african hops, (LFW-EWR/LAX and ABJ-EWR) move to Accra. The venture will be great for a hub, routes which can be filled very quick are the obvious ones. LHR, DUS, HAM, FCO, BWI, JNB, DXB, NYC. They can establish som...
Jump to postThey probanly relying on connections however coming back from LAX, not a single connection is available!
My parents live in Ghana and looking to fly to LAX (they might drive to LFW) and use ET as quicker then connecting via Europe
There is no connections from LAX to anywhere in west Africa via LFW without a long layover.
ET can easily fill the LAX-ADD with transit to JNB, SEZ, somalia and virtually anywhere in southern africa!
Yeah its a longer flight but £€¥ counts for a lot of people!
ET is to move its DUB stopover to LFW.
Its a 15h+ flight, i doubt it will pick many passengers via its ASKY hub.
Any thoughts?
