Scope

This policy is mainly written to ensure that your air travel experience with Africa World Airlines will encompass, to the best of our abilities, the most comprehensive customer service possible. We have outlined our responsibilities and how we will fulfill them in 10-key points, known as our Customer Commitment Principles.

This Customer Commitment Policy applies to our flights operating within Ghana, to and from the West
African sub-region.

1. Notifying Consumers Of Known Delays, Cancellations, And Diversions

We will provide full and timely information on the status of known delays, cancellations, and diversions within 30 minutes of Africa World Airlines becoming aware of the change in the status of the flight by making announcements:

1. At the boarding gate area and through the use of Gate Information Display Screens (GIDS) where available.
2. Through Flight Information Display screens (FIDS) where available.
3. Through a toll-free telephone number (0800 200 200)

5. On www.flyafricaworld.com for updates
6. Through Africa World Airlines E-Messenger, Facebook, Instagram or twitter flight notification.
7. At the airport, after the first delay announcement, updates are given after every 30mins
8. If your flight is cancelled other than as a result of Extraordinary Circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable steps had been taken, you will not be entitled to compensation other than the right to cancel the flight and claim a refund or rebook an alternative date without additional fees unless for peculiar cases. We will provide 30mins update regarding the status of a flight if there is an extreme delay after you have boarded or after the plane has landed. If safety and security conditions allow, we will provide for your essential needs such as food, potable water, operable lavatory facilities, and access to medical treatment.

2. Delivering Baggage On Time

1. It is our hope to deliver your baggage on time; however, in the event that this does not occur, we will make every reasonable effort to return misplaced baggage within 21 days. We will compensate you for reasonable expenses that result due to a delay in delivery for domestic flights, and as required by applicable international agreements for international flights. If we cannot locate your bag within 21 days, it will be considered lost, and we will reimburse you for any fee charged to transport your bag.
2. You are encouraged to notify an Africa World Airlines employee or report to the Lost and Found desk for regional flights at the various airports if you cannot locate your baggage. To check on the progress of your bag search, call 054 011 5196 or go to Delayed, Lost, or Damaged Baggage reporting procedures on our website.

3. Determining Fares And Prices

1. It is mandatory company requirement that all travelers intending to travel on board AWA operated domestic flights must purchase and be issued with a ticket. The price of a ticket shall be determined by rates specified in our fare policy
2. In special cases prices and fares may be overridden, based on extraordinary circumstances subject to approval. The merits of each circumstance shall be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

4. Providing Voluntary Ticket Refunds Within 7 to 14 days For Credit Card Purchases, And Within 3 Business Days For Cash Or Cheque Purchases

1. We will issue refunds for eligible domestic tickets within three (3) business days after receiving a complete refund request for cash and cheque purchases. Within 7 to 14 days business days after receiving a complete refund request for international ticket purchases made by credit cards, including any fees for optional services if you were unable to use the services but instant refund or rescheduling due to an over sale situation or flight cancellation on our part.
2. For the avoidance of doubt tickets issued by travel or corporate agencies shall not be refunded by the airline at the airport.

1. Providing information at airports, including our boarding priority rules, about our policies and procedures for handling situations when not all ticketed customers can be accommodated on a flight.
