Before it came to Ostend, the 9G-AXA landed from South-America in Maastricht with a ACE flight number. The European office of the ICAO says that the code 'ACE' belongs to Cargo Plus Aviation of Ghana, created in 2003 when its counterpart of Equatorial Guinea ceased its operations. Actually Cargo Plus has its headquarters in Sharjah (U.A.E.) and has for financial reasons a subsidiary in the Bahamas. Cargo Plus changed name already in earlier times from 'Air Cargo Plus' and since its reputation is not the best in the world, it probably wants now to adopt a new name. What is better than to adopt a name that refers to its code 'ACE' and why not choose a name that already has been used by another air company, a French one, namely 'Air Charter Express' ?
