Hi,

Was flying the other day and got wondering if RAM operates their 737Ngs to deeper africa under ETOPS rules. Are their aircraft ETOPS certified?
I heard them on the IATA in-flight broadcast frequency performing flights from Casablanca to Lusaka and Kinshasa.

Regards,

Hello!

I am a pilot flying in West Africa and besides hearing them on the frequency, I also very frequently fly with them from Africa to Canada. All their NGs are ETOPS certified and they operate to many african capitals with great success.

I noticed that they had ETOPS written on the nose, I was surprised as I didnt think that they flew across the Atlantic, I never thought about ETOPS requirements over Africa. Thanks for the information.

Thanks Jumbo 744.

I tried and tried to get info on their certification, but no success.

I am not with Evergreen. I am flying B200s and B1900s for a small charter company in West Africa...
