Air Côte d’Ivoire has announced the opening of direct flights to Morocco.
This is coming after recording a turnover of 992 billion CFA francs in 11 years.
The airline will operate four weekly flights to the North African country, beginning April 2024.
The strategic move, the company said, aligns with its vision to expand its international reach and cement its position as a key player in Africa’s aviation industry.
Managing Director, Laurent Loukou, shared these remarkable milestones during a media briefing on Thursday, January 25, in Abidjan marking the company’s decade-long journey and unveiling prospects.
“With 6.7 million passengers transported, the airline has generated 586 direct jobs and 3,000 indirect jobs from 2013 to 2023,” the MD said.
He spoke highly of the airline company’s punctuality rate.
“In 2023, Air Côte d’Ivoire had a 67% punctuality rate compared to the world average of 77%. The objective being 85% in the long term,” Mr. Loukou noted.
For his part, the President of the board of directors, General Abdoulaye Coulibaly encouraged the staff not to relent on excellent customer delivery that safeguards the safety of passengers.
Since its establishment in May 2012, Air Côte d’Ivoire, envisioned by President Alassane Ouattara, has not only contributed significantly to the nation’s economic recovery but has also garnered a dominant market share, exceeding 50%.
Air Côte d’Ivoire in July 2022 launched its flights to Johannesburg, South Africa. It is hoping to add Cape Verde to it radar.
