ASKY Airlines
Togo-based scheduled airline connecting major cities across West, Central, East and Southern Africa through its Lomé hub, with a strong focus on regional connectivity.
About ASKY Airlines
ASKY Airlines is a privately constituted pan-African carrier headquartered in Lomé, Togo. Founded in 2008, it began commercial operations in 2010 following efforts to improve air links within Africa after the collapse of Air Afrique. Its shareholders include African financial institutions and Ethiopian Airlines, which holds a minority interest and serves as a strategic partner. The airline operates under the IATA code KP and presents itself primarily as a regional network carrier.
The airline’s principal hub is Gnassingbé Eyadéma International Airport in Lomé. Its network links roughly 30 destinations across West, Central, East and Southern Africa, including important commercial centres such as Accra, Abuja, Lagos, Dakar, Abidjan, Douala, Kinshasa, Nairobi and Johannesburg. Some services operate as multi-city flights rather than nonstop links from Lomé, allowing ASKY to connect markets that have relatively limited direct air service.
ASKY operates a narrow-body Boeing fleet built around the 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 families. These aircraft are suited to its mixture of short regional sectors and longer journeys across the continent. Flights generally offer Economy Class and Business Class, although seating, catering and other inclusions can vary by aircraft and route. The airline does not operate premium-economy or long-haul first-class cabins.
ASKY is not a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld. Its partnership with Ethiopian Airlines nevertheless provides coordinated schedules and access to onward international connections, particularly through Lomé and Ethiopian’s Addis Ababa hub. ASKY’s own loyalty programme, ASKYCLUB, awards miles and offers tier-based benefits. Travellers should distinguish these benefits from those of Ethiopian Airlines’ ShebaMiles programme when booking codeshare or connecting itineraries.
ASKY’s main strength is its ability to link African capitals and business centres without requiring connections outside the continent. Lomé’s coastal location also supports relatively efficient transfers between western, central, eastern and southern markets. However, frequencies on thinner routes may be limited, and multi-stop services can make journey times longer than the route map suggests. Passengers should check the complete itinerary, operating carrier and intermediate stops before purchasing a ticket.

Baggage Depends on Fare
Checked and cabin baggage allowances can vary by route, cabin and ticket conditions. Confirm the allowance shown on your booking before travelling, especially when connecting to another airline.
Two Cabin Classes
