"I want to say at this point the West African region as a whole is a large market for Africa and that is why an airline like Ethiopia set up a subsidiary called, ASKY to operate the region on a 5th Freedom Right. So you can see ASKY coming into Lagos, going to Accra, Lome which is actually their hub of operation and that is what we are losing, however the truth is this, i am not a against the operation of ASKY because that is what the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) is all about. However, west African countries should grant the same leverages rights and privileges to other airlines from the region so as to have and to allow for free enterprise and equal competitions in operations.
