Hello Mama mangrove;
As I told you, before the new CHC AS332 in Angola is now Angolan registred and is currently flown by Angolan and CHC crews. 2 others purely Sonair owned AS332 are also flying in this area. (as well as S76 A++ and C+, and AS 365N3).
Expats crews accomodations are brand new and very comfortable, but Luanda is still Luanda ! so called "freedom restrictions" appliy not only to CHC crew but to all expats. They are originated from the local expats managing organization.
It seems anyway it's a little bit cooler on this southern side of the "gulf" than on the western's.
