Nigeria: Eagle Airlines Signs Code-Share With Ethiopian Airlines

Abuja — To strategize its operations for value delivery services to its customers, Nigerian Eagle Airlines (formerly Virgin Nigeria) has signed a network wide code share and interline agreement with Ethiopia Airlines.

The codeshare which was signed by Capt. Dapo Olumide and Ato Girma Wake is coming on the heels of an earlier technical service agreement in August by both airlines in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A codeshare is a commercial air pact between two airlines to offer passengers services on either airline.

The commercial agreement, signed during the just concluded 41st Annual General Assembly of the Africa Airlines Association (AFRAA) in Maputo, Mozambique was supervised by Jose Ricardo Viegas, Chief Executive of Mozambique Airlines and President of AFRAA.

Viegas noted that the codeshare was significant to the African continent, as it showcases two great nations cementing air pact which AFRAA had sought to foster among its members over the years.

    On the one hand Ethiopian Airlines is promoting its new offices and new partnerships, buying new planes and marketing themselves as the airline of Africa and on the other hand they are firing their employees (amon them also their Ethiopian employees) in other offices for cheaper solutions, while telling the employees the airline has no money. It remains to be seen, when they will let go of the employees in Nigeria or other country offices. The "airline of Africa" does not seem to care about the "employees of Africa" even if they have slaved for the company for decades for below average wages.
