Ethiopian Airlines has banned passengers from using Ghana-Must-Go on any of its flights from Nigeria, according to reports.
The restriction was disclosed in a letter signed by Henok Gizachew, the airline’s Manager of Airport Services, addressed to the Regional Manager of the Federal Airports Authority Of Nigeria (FAAN).
“The use of Ghana-Must-Go bags as a means of packing baggage has cost the airlines huge loss and also damaging the converyor belt system, not only on our flight but also on other foreign airlines, hence the prohibition,” the letter stated.
The only condition under which the airline will allow users of the bag to continue to use them to package their luggage is when they are well packed in cartons of a hardcover of rectangular size.
The ban took effect from November 25, 2023.
The sack-like bag earned the “Ghana-Must-Go” nickname in 1983, when Nigeria expelled about two million undocumented West African migrants, half of whom were from Ghana.
