Reinforcing its commitment to operational excellence and sustainable connectivity across Africa, ASKY has taken delivery of two brand-new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in July 2026, marking a major milestone.
Both aircraft, ET-BCJ which arrived in Lomé on July 5, and ET-BCK on July 16, feature a dual-class configuration with 16 Business and 144 Economy seats, delivering superior passenger comfort while setting new benchmarks in fuel efficiency and CO2 reduction.
ASKY CEO, Mr. Esayas Woldemariam Hailu during the welcome ceremony declared: “This delivery is a powerful statement of our resilience and long-term vision. It reflects the trust of our strategic partners, the dedication of our team, and the exemplary supportive environment fostered by the Government of Togo, which continues to champion Lomé as a premier aviation and logistics gateway. These aircraft will enhance schedule reliability, open new markets, and deliver the seamless travel experience our passengers expect, as we continue unifying Africa through air travel.”
In his remarks, Mr. Comla Kadje, Togo’s Minister of Transport, Landlocked Areas Development and Rural Roads, noted: “The expansion of ASKY’s fleet is excellent news for Togo and for Africa. Through its continued growth, ASKY is fully aligned with the vision of the President of the Council, His Excellency Mr. Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe, to establish Lomé as the leading air transport hub in West Africa. The Government of Togo remains firmly committed to supporting ASKY in its mission to strengthen regional integration, enhance mobility, and drive the economic development of the African continent.”
Coming on the wings of the aircraft arrivals, the airline is positioned with additional capacity to support increased frequencies on high-demand routes and has announced that it is set to launch direct flights between Lomé and Kano (Nigeria) effective August 5, 2026, strengthening trade and mobility across the West African sub region.
Following this new acquisition, ASKY now had a fleet of 17 aircraft including 8 Boeing 737 MAX 8s, underscoring its resolve to operate one of the youngest, most fuel-efficient fleets in the region.
