FLYsafe, fly confident

The safety and well-being of Africa World Airlines (AWA) passengers, crew and staff is the top priority at all times and since the global outbreak of Covid-19 we have been committed to putting extra measures in place to make sure you ‘Fly Safe, Fly Confident’ with us. You’ll see changes at every step of the journey so let’s take a closer look at what’s new and what you can do to help.

The safety and well-being of our passengers, crew and staff is the top priority at all times. The AWA team is monitoring the situation and developments around the clock, in co-ordination with International Air Transport Association (IATA) as well as various health and governmental authorities in the countries we fly to. Nonetheless, we would like to reassure our passengers regarding the steps we are taking to ensure your safety.

Above and beyond safety protocols

Our enhanced sanitary protocols remain in effect and exceed IATA standards. We have resumed domestic flights under industry leading safety protocols which were jointly developed by the domestic airlines, Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, Ghana Airports Company Ltd and Ghana Health Service.

Temperature checks

Thermal screening on entry to the terminal.

Contactless check-in

Non-contact ID check procedures at check-in, security and boarding.

You will never get a middle seat!

You will also never be stuck in a middle seat between two other passengers due to the layout of our modern Embraer ERJ-145 jets. Nobody will have another passenger other than their child under 12 seated next to them. There will also be enforced social distancing at boarding gates.

Masks, not meals

Mandatory use of face masks by all passengers, airport staff and crew throughout the journey.

Prohibition of food and drink consumption on board domestic flights – which have a maximum duration of one hour – so that passengers keep their masks on at all time.

Enhanced cleaning

Aircraft will be subjected to an enhanced cleaning regime after each sector that targets high risk surfaces such as windows, side walls, tray tables, arm rests, air vents and more

Spraying of all checked baggage with an approved disinfectant spray prior to loading and at delivery point

Sterilisation of baggage trays at security checkpoints prior to re-use.

Continuously cleaned air

We are ensuring that the air you breathe on our aircraft continues to be filtered to the highest standards. All AWA aircraft are equipped with filters that remove most pollutants, including dust, bacteria and viruses, from the air circulating in the cabin. The air on board AWA aircraft is actually cleaner than the air you breathe on the ground in most circumstances.
