What is your source of info Towerman ?

ASI last operated two 737-700s leased or seconded from the parent company or major shareholder RAM. I think these two planes are back now in Casablanca. I think another 737 ( 800?) and Dash8 remain.

There is an ongoing dispute between RAM and the Senegalese government.
The latest was a unilateral withdrawal notice ( unsure of the date) from RAM which was countered by the Senegalese issuing a court order obliging RAM to continue operations until another Audit was done.

Things are now calmer, I read ASIs accounts are frozen by the airport authorities in DKR.

The bottom line of this whole thing is probably another Air Afrique style saga in the making. Only this time... it involves a Sovereign State vs another State's Airline.
