ASKY has marked a major milestone with the delivery of two brand-new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in July 2026.
The additional aircraft further reinforced its commitment to operational excellence and sustainable connectivity across Africa.
The first jet, registered ET-BCJ, arrived in Lome on July 5, followed by ET-BCK on July 16, the airline said in a statement.
Both 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.
With this acquisition, ASKY’s fleet now stands at 17 aircraft, including eight Boeing 737 MAX 8s, underscoring its resolve to operate one of the youngest, most fuel-efficient fleets in the region.
Speaking at the welcome ceremony in Lomé, Asky Airlines Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Esayas Hailu said the delivery was a powerful statement of the airline’s resilience and long-term vision.
He added: “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.”
The new capacity supports increased frequencies on high-demand routes as well as the launch of a direct Lomé–Kano (Nigeria) service on August 5, 2026, strengthening trade and mobility across the West African sub-region.
