A South African Taxi company has just created a new airline. They plan to start flight in November 2011. There are some critics and doubt in SA, about this airline especially on the long term. The SA market is very competitive (Mango, Comair, 1time, Velvet, SAA,...). But Wait and see.. http://www.bu...

The airline has just announced that they will fly to Luanda, from 01DEC2011, with B737-800, via Libreville. The route was supposed to open in 2009.

I think only TAAG can compete with internationals airlines...but it's quite easy for them, because they have code share agreements with some airlines serving LAD :mrgreen: . To Paris with AF since about 10 years. TAAG dropped Paris to its network, in 2007 due to the ban from UE Sky, but the airline ...

The world's youngest state has its own airline. Southern Star has just leased a Dash 8-100 from ALS Airlines (Kenya). The airline flies across South Sudan, but plans to serve East African countries.

It's seems that there is or were a similar problem with Mauritania : Senegalese Prime Minister Soulayemane Ndene Ndiaye arrived in Nouakchott last week in an attempt to resolve a lingering air and land transportation dispute with Mauritania. http://www.magharebia.com/cocoon/awi/xhtml1/en_GB/features...

But isn't that the Abuja route, while Lagos was (is?) still operated with A345?

Yep but for a shortime, indeed one of two A340-500 will be in maintenance, so the airline will fly to London from Lagos with B737-800, from 31AUG 2011 to 31OCT 2011 according to Airline routes.

Arik will serve LHR with B737-800s, from Lagos, replacing A340-500s

PIA plagued by aircraft problems According to sources, PIA’s Airbus A 310 (number AP BGO) was returning home from Milan via Paris on Tuesday and when it landed at Charles de Gualle airport the European aviation inspectors checked it and detected almost 40 snags in it and directed the crew to offloa...

Kano - Federal aviation authorities in Nigeria say a Bombardier CRJ-900 airplane operated by Arik Air Ltd, filled with passengers in the northern city of Kano, was seized by authorities to fulfill a judgment in a civil lawsuit. http://www.news24.com/Africa/News/Nigeria-plane-seized-with-passengers-...

AF sends its B77Ws to Nice, during the Monaco Grand Prix or the Cannes Festival. On summer the St denis Paris Orly is operated via Ajaccio and Bastia.

I think is due to the visit of the French prime minister Francois Fillon, last month. I heard that EADS wants to expands its activities in Africa. They have some contacts with DRC, Uganda and Rwanda.

Thanks to the Transfers at Ist...

I m not very surprised by the news, the Nigerian Civil Aviation has already grounded several times Arik Air for non payment. They canceled the order of 5 B777-300ERs, this year. They are often in mate for pay date.

Great news for Rwanda. THY will also be the big brother for Rwandair and show them the way to become a successful airline. Yes, RwandAir is becoming a successful airline, they are now a network carrier and uses Kigali as a hub. They will take delivery of two B737-800s. They will use it on lucrative...

SAA has announced that they will resume flights to Kigali (5 flights a week). Star Alliance airlines are rushing to Rwanda. I read that, from Turkish CAA : After ...

Hi I think it's a april fool :lol: . But, in a near future they could be start flights to Europe, to feed their hub. In Air International (February 2011), they said that they want to create a German link to FRA, via BRU (note that last year Germany and Rwanda signed an open sky agreement). No more i...
