Ethiopian Airlines Bans ‘Ghana-Must-Go’ Bags from Boarding
Ethiopian Airlines has announced a restriction on passengers boarding its flights from Nigeria, prohibiting the use of ‘Ghana-must-go’ bags.
In a letter dated November 24, 2023, addressed to the Regional Manager of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, the airline cited the bags’ impact on airline operations and conveyor belt systems, leading to substantial losses.
The ban, effective November 25, 2023, encourages travelers to utilize the bags only if well-packed in cartons with a hardcover of rectangular size.
The letter reads in part: “Please be informed that effective November 25, 2023, the usage of Ghana Must Go to travel on our flight is hereby prohibited.
“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.”
