Meridiana Fly, Italy’s fastest growing airline has reaffirmed its commitment to the Nigerian and Ghanaian markets by confirming both routes in summer schedule for 2017.
Supported by Ghana’s firm -Dre Aviation and Dana Air, Meridiana Fly entered into the West African market with Boeing 767-300 series aircraft.
Speaking to newsmen in Lagos, Dre Aviation’s, Mr Paul Bassam Saade said “A prudent approach was taken by Meridiana when entering these highly competitive markets but we have demonstrated stable operations and a growing commercial presence for them in West Africa and they are pleased with the results”
Commenting further, Paul mentioned that ‘‘based on the feedback from our guests, we have also rescheduled the flight times which now means a late evening departure from Lagos which arrives in Italy’s Milan Malpensa Airport early the next day, allowing our Nigerian passengers to onward connect onto Meridiana services into Europe and beyond. This is a compelling proposition as the fares are much cheaper than other carriers into Europe and offers a real alternative for the travelling public. Our fares start at $350 all in for a one way ticket into Europe.”
He noted that more frequencies will be added in due course and dre aviation is ramping up the market initiative for the carrier in Both Ghana and Nigeria.
