In another blow to the region of central Africa following Kenya Airways' (KQ) termination of Ndjamena, Chad flights last week, Ethiopian Airlines (ET) has dropped Bangui, Central Africa Republic from its schedule. Its Lomé, Togo-based subsidiary, ASKY Airlines (KP), however, will still continue to operate there.
The dropping of the route comes after Ethiopian threatened to drop the route in April stating that loads were not good enough to warrant the continuation of flights, launched in 2010.
