Antrak Air: No One Flies Ghana Like We Do, 2012

The optimism emanating from this A4 advertisement posted to the door of Antrak Air's ticket office in the domestic wing of Kotoka International Airport is somewhat dented by the sarcastic "R.I.P." scribbled in blue Bic at the bottom.

Thankfully for the aviation company, the fleet's grounding in the wake of an onboard fire in the spring of 2012 was temporary, and the airline is offering domestic flights between Accra and Kumasi, Sunyani, and Takoradi multiple times daily, although now it faces stiff competition from the grandiloquently named African World Airlines, and in the last week a second aircraft fire renewed calls in the Ghanaian press for the airline's immediate grounding.

Antrak Air Route Map, 2011

A rather less hi-tech graphic design than the previous posts' late-model, video-game grade inflight map from Kenya Airways is this amateurish route map from Antrak Air, showing its domestic routes from Accra. The flight to Sunyani takes a particularly hard right turn, which could possibly be navigational reality but more likely is dictated by an unfamiliarity with a basic PC Paint program. Antrak's services to Ougadougou did not last, and with the arrival of Starbow and Fly540, Antrak is no longer the chief of Ghanaian skies. But its affordable, scheduled runs to interior cities, especially its more recent links to Sunyani and Wa, serve as a vital link to the boom-town capital, and the carrier can be forgiven a lack of computer drawing skills.
