Ethiopian airlines make ‘Ghana Must-Go’ bags prohibited for travellers.

Ethiopian Airlines has banned the use of nyloon wooven bags knowns as ‘Ghana must-go’bags on all its flights.

The African airline, in a statement on Saturday, made known that the usage of these bags had incurred huge losses for the airline as they damaged the conveyor belt systems due to their irregular shape.

The Aviation company said individuals could still use the Ghana-must-go bags for packaging their luggage, provided that they were securely encased in cartons with a sturdy, rectangular hardcover.

This move echoes a previous restriction introduced in 2017 by Dubai, labelling the bags as “non-compliant baggage.”

The Ghana Must Go bag, mostly used in Nigeria, actually got it heels from Ghana.

Firstly made in Ghana during the 1980s, this bag was designed to provide durability and affordability for transporting goods.

Its popularity surged in Nigeria during the 1983 expulsion of over a million undocumented West African migrants from the country.

Several migrants utilised these bags to pack their possessions and leave Nigeria, hence earning the name “Ghana Must Go.”
