He has been back now for more than a month . As said before he has been cleared by the big "boss" , the national TV even made a report on him to clear him up with all the allegations that was made about him.
they even ask him to start a new cargo company because he has the required experience not like some other young useless daughter of *****.
Surprise you do not know about this all your remaining friends at 2AG must know that for sure

Eh ben non mon grand, j'étais même pas au courant dis-donc... C'est ça d'être redevenu un petit blanc, on sait même plus ce qui se passe au pays!!!
Poor Gabonese... They were licking Vialaret's shoes for years, then suddenly he left and they b*tched all they could about him, and now he is back with full support of the president... I wonder what they are saying about him now...
As far as 2AG and miss Hermine B**** are concerned, I am sure she can screw up all she can she will still get the funding from the president... How would the ministers travel otherwise??? 2AG's survival is vital to the country, you see...
Sinon, il marche bien, ton ATR?

Looking for charter companies in Gabon
I am an auditor for an oil company that is expanding in Gabon. We need to charter aircraft to/from ST to Lagos and Libreville. We just heard that Air ST crashed last night, anyone know if this is true? Who else in Gabon has aircraft for charter? Thanks for the help!

I would go with Air Affaires Gabon myself, +(241) 73 01 92. Beech 1900s and Fokker 100. Dunno what your standards are though, but they are the most serious in there right now in my opinion.

I lost a very good friend in the " Sandy Lake crash" (1993) I believe the HS 748 ( Operated by Air Manitoba)had partial electrical failure on T/O and the crew flew the A/C to the ground. Here are the findings of the M.O.T I might be mistaken but didn't the Deluce Family own this company?
With respect.
S.
3.2 Causes
After take-off, the crew most likely lost situational awareness and, as a result, did not detect the increasing deviation from their intended flight path. Contributing to the loss of situational awareness was the lack of AC power to some of the flight instruments; the reason for the lack of AC power could not be determined
4.0 Safety Action
4.1 Action Taken
4.1.1 Transport Canada (TC) Special Inspection
In January 1994, TC conducted a special inspection of Air Manitoba's Flight Operations and Maintenance departments. The findings of this inspection, primarily with respect to maintenance shortcomings, resulted in removal of the company's maintenance certificate and suspension of its operating certificate. The company subsequently contracted its HS 748 maintenance to another carrier and regained its operating certificate.
Regardless of of whose fault it might be, the operator or the crew ,the ultimate decision always lies with the crew.It takes two to tango...

Is this the same company Air Services that operated the Gulfstream1 back in 2004 that crashed on the beach in Libreville. The Captain didn't have a license and the co-pilot who wasn't rated on the aircraft !!!!

Air Service has not had any accident / serious incident since the Canadians arrived (and even for quite a few year before that).

Thanks treetopflyer, got my wires crossed there, heard there was quite a bit of fallout with the Government and their DCA and the owner of Gabon Express
How does Transport Canada get involved on the maintenance side if all the records are in Libreville and the aircraft has been returned to Canada, I guess Air Services had the Registrations changed to Gabonese when they arrived in Gabon

Yes, there was quite a bit of turmoil around that Gabon Express' crash you were talking about... It unveiled a serious corruption culture within the Gabonese CAA, the Secretary to Civil Aviation went to jail as well as the company owner. Both have been released now, though, and everything is back to normal (except Gabex is no more)... 
Air Service aircraft were indeed all put on the Gabonese register after their arrival in the country.
Cheers, TTF.
