Low-cost airline, Flyafrica, is set to expand its routes to destinations in East and West Africa, said Gabon president Ali Bongo, according to news reports.
Speaking during the New York Forum in Gabon's capital Libreville, Bongo was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying: "One of the biggest contributions that we as Africans can make to Africa's development is to open the skies for direct affordable travel between African states.”
In a statement, the airline said it would shortly launch new routes to Namibia, Gabon, Benin and Zambia, followed by destinations in East Africa.
A statement from the airline said that the expansion was possible because of a "strategic partnership between the Government of Gabon and African industrialist, venture capitalist and philanthropist Ivor Ichikowitz".
