Airline Number Two in Eritrean Aviation

nasair-eritrea.jpgFor the summer schedule 2009 Frankfurt Airport announced that Eritrean Airlines ceased flying to Frankfurt. So far Eritrean Aviation was dominated by Eritrean Airlines serving mainly Eritreans abroad visiting friends and relatives in their home country during summer holidays or Christmas.

However, a second airline named Nasair came recently into spotlight enriching the Eritrean Aviation sector. Nasair was founded in 2006 in Eritrea with a more regional network than Eritrean Airlines.

The airline is part of the Sharjah-based Nasair Group, operating scheduled services linking Asmara with around half a dozen destinations within Eritrea and in Kenya, the Sudan and United Arab Emirates. It also offers charter services. Sister company Nasair Cargo offers world wide cargo charters from its base in Massawa.

Most of the Nasair’s passenger traffic destined for Massawa comes from Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. For 2008 the share of Passengers originating from outside Eritrea and traveling to Massawa was split between those two countries. You can visit the airline at the  Nasairgroup homepage.
