Air Afrique, the West African multinational
airline, has been forced to sell four of its fleet of 15 planes to pay
off the airline's debts which are currently around US$3 million. The airline
is jointly owned by Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mauritania, Chad, Niger, Benin,
Togo, Burkina Faso, Congo, Mali and the Central African Republic. As most
of these countries cannot afford a national airline, Air Afrique was established
to provide them with a regular air service. Air Afrique will cease all
flights to the US, France and South Africa but flights between West African
countries will not be suspended.
