Ethiopian Airlines announced a prohibition on passengers traveling from Nigeria from bringing ‘Ghana-must-go’ bags on their flights.
These bags, well-known in Nigeria for their durable and affordable nature, are sac-like carriers in various sizes and colors, favored by many travelers.
A letter dated November 24, 2023, addressed to the Regional Manager of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria revealed this ban, effective from November 25, 2023.
It noted, “Please be informed that effective November 25, 2023, the usage of Ghana Must Go to travel on our flight is hereby prohibited,” the letter read.
“The use of Ghana Must Go as a means of packing baggage has cost the airlines huge loss and also damaged the conveyor belt system, not only on our flight but also on other foreign airlines, hence the prohibition.”
Nevertheless, the airline permitted passengers to still utilize these bags for packing their belongings, provided that they are properly packed within rectangular-sized hardcover cartons.
