Air Sierra Leone has issued a formal advisory warning travelers and the general public to refrain from purchasing airline tickets for the upcoming November December period through unofficial channels.
The airline clarified that tickets for the winter season have not yet been released and any current offers circulating online particularly those on UK-based travel websites are unauthorized and invalid.
According to a public notice signed by Augustine Bona, the airline’s Head of Commercial, these fraudulent sales are being carried out by individuals and agencies falsely presenting themselves as legitimate agents of Air Sierra Leone. The airline emphasized that official tickets will only be available through its website and authorized Sales Representatives.
“We urge all passengers to verify sources and avoid falling victim to schemes that could result in loss of funds or denied boarding,” the notice stated.
Air Sierra Leone has vowed to take decisive legal action against perpetrators engaged in deceptive practices or misrepresentation of the company.
This warning comes amid increased demand for holiday travel, making unsuspecting travelers more vulnerable to ticketing fraud. The airline’s move is widely seen as a proactive effort to safeguard public trust and ensure the integrity of its booking system.
Travelers are advised to monitor the airline’s official channels for accurate updates and refrain from making purchases until a formal announcement is made.
