Hey,

Algeria is not too bad, but no debit/credit card facilities (at least nothing in the South, just for locally issued cards...), so cash-cash-cash! I've found it pretty safe as well, so far...

Otherwise there are 3 (counted so far in the past 2 weeks ) major players in the "contract-field": Tassili (local), Air Express (aeries operated by Air-Tec and Solenta ) and Star Aviation (swiss operator: Zimex). Mostly flying for the oil companies. Accomodations are generally not too bad, with nice food, but beware, that most of the oil camps are DRY! and not just because it's the Sahara... (nevertheless, you'll get booze in the major hubs anyways )

So if you are an experienced L410/420, B190/BE20, PC6 or DHC6 driver this is the place for you!

Cheerz,

Booze

Ps.: no laughs guys, just trying these smilies out for the first time...
