Ethiopian Airlines, which also operates in Malawi, has banned passengers boarding any of its flights in Nigeria from using sack bags. However, the airline said travellers can use the bags if they package the bags in cartons of a hardcover of rectangular size. The bags are also popular among travellers across Africa including in Malawi where they are known as sack bags. According to the BBC, in Kenya they are known as Nigeria bags while Zimbabweans call them Botswana bags. Ethiopian Airlines is not the first airline to ban the bags.
