ASKY

After the former multinational Air Afrique bankrupt in 2002, air transport in Africa became more difficult, with serious problems for goods and people traffic in West and Central Africa.

Aware of these difficulties, the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) and the West African economic and monetary union (UEMOA) gathering in Niamey in Niger on January 10, 2004, decided to have a private, competitive, cost-effective airline offering all guarantees of safety and security for the region.

Following this decision, the Executive Secretariat of ECOWAS, the Ecowas Bank of Investment Development (EBID), the UEMOA Bank Of Development (BOAD), the Central Bank of West Africa States (BCEAO) and ECOBANK group met at the headquarters of BCEAO in Dakar on August 29, 2005 and decided to create a company for the promotion of the next Community Airline.

In September 2005, the company for the promotion of a regional airline (SPCAR) was created and led to various feasibility studies; market studies, sought various financial and strategic partners and took the steps that led to the establishment in November 2007 of ASKY.
