Johannesburg-Lomé flight pushed back, again

ETHIOPIAN Airlines’ launch
of direct flights between
Johannesburg and Lomé,
Togo, has been delayed again.
The flights, operated via
codeshare agreement with
Togo airline ASKY, were first
planned to launch on April 8
and were bookable for travel
from May 17.
A source told TNW that
some flights had operated
but many were cancelled.
Ethiopian Airlines regional
manager for Southern Africa,
Abel Alemu, has since
confirmed that the flights have
been suspended.
“Due to operational reasons
related to the peak season,
we have made an adjustment
on the Johannesburg-Lomé
schedule and it will resume
later this year,” Abel told TNW.
He could not provide an
exact date when the flights
would resume. “We will advise
the travel date ahead of time
on the recommencement of
the route.” 
