Ethiopian Airlines has prohibited the use of travel sacks, popularly known as ‘Ghana Must Go’ by passengers at all the nation’s airports.

The Ethiopian Airlines explained the reason for its action and exceptions to the new rule in the memo addressed to FAAN and a public notice posted on its social media handles.

In a statement on Thursday, the airlines said the ban has been implemented due to frequent occurrence of damages to conveyor belts at various airports.

It added that the dmagess to the belts has resulted in significant costs incurred by the airlines involved.

The airlines said: “We would like to inform you of a restriction regarding the usage of irregularly shaped packages on Ethiopian airlines flight. It is strictly prohibited to bring ‘Ghana must go bags’ unless they are adequately packed in a carton or hardcover rectangular container.

“This restriction has been implemented due to frequent occurrence of damages to conveyor belts at various airports, resulting in significant costs incurred by the airlines involved.

“We kindly request your cooperation in complying with this rule to ensure the smooth operation of our flights and to minimize any potential disruptions caused by damaged conveyor belts.”

The popular Ghana Must Go sack which comes in different sizes is very popular among many Nigerian travellers because of its light weight and capacity to carry more loads.
