Asky Airlines will re-establish its services to Malabo in Equatorial Guinea on 23 August. This is according to a recent press release from the airline. For the resumption, the Togolese carrier will serve Malabo, initially, once a week on Mondays. The pan-African airline plans to increase the number of frequencies as the restrictions are relaxed. The route will be operated, without competition, on the Lomé-Lagos-Malabo-Douala route. The company inaugurated the Malabo service on 19 February 2012, but the route was subsequently interrupted several times.
