French National carrier, Air France has suspended flights to and from Bamako in Mali and Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso.

The flight suspension which is expected to last till August 11, was announced on Monday, August 6, hours after Niger Republic's military junta announced the closure of the country’s airspace due to the “threat of intervention”.

Air France said they expect longer flight times from sub-Saharan hub airports and that flights between Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and Accra in Ghana are set to operate non-stop.

Brussels Airlines also told Reuters that flight times could be between an hour and a half to three and a half hours longer for rerouted flights and could include a fuel stop.

None of them is right but it’s true the world has unfair pecking order n Mali is clearly biting a bit too much. Diplomacy didn’t work so their resort to force is quite understandable. On the flip side tho, hate to say it but they’re no match for French power
