Eritrean Airlines and Nasair have merged

According to Mr. Woldemichael Abraha, the Minister of Transport and Communications, Eritrean airlines and Eritrea's privately owned Nasair have recently been merged together [1].

Nasair first started operations in 2006 from its headquarters in Massawa and conducts four times a week domestic flights to and from Massawa and Asmara, as well as making twice a week international flights to Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Sudan and Kenya [2]. 

Currently, Nasair staffs 75 Eritrean nationals, including its manager Mr. Berhane Mehari, and provides their services through 3 kinds of Boeing made 737-200 planes[3]. Prior to the recent merger with Eritrean airlines, Nasair was in talks to purchase a larger Boeing made 737-400 plane to provide flights to Europe and other distant locations [4].

Mr. Abraha further indicated that Massawa's recently constructed international airport will commence operation this year and added Nasair had opened a new ticket office in downtown Asmara.
