West Africa...It doesn't even need to be pirates - a school last year 'impounded' a celebrity's helicopter because it landed on the playing field.
Last I read, they were asking for a release fee in US$$$$...
BAe146???
P.S. Is it one of the Q400s or CRJs??

Hi there,
it's a Raytheon Hawker 800XP (5N-JMA).
Has been seized for fake overfly and landing authorizations. Seems they had also fake overfly authorizations for Benin, Togo and Ghana ...

With regards the school landing, it was a British International school that siezed the helicopter for landing in the schools playing field. How irresponsible is that? People could have been injured.

Hs-125 Released
i hear the aircraft was released after almost two weeks in Abidjan 
charter operators should stop Operating impromptu International Charters knowings the difficulty in obtaining this permits especially with African Countries 'Ghana an Exception'
Arik claims no fine was paid what about all that time the Aircraft sat on ground Abidjan HOTAC for crew parking fees etc

this are biz jets for "buisness".
methinks african nations should stop been paranoid,its not as if they brought in a cache of arms!
detaining a crew for that long is simply unacceptable,and traumatic.
This so called "clerance" has never prevented wars or coups!

Cash Cows
Almost without exception, African countries see the aviation industry as a cash cow. A means to development... come on... just show us the $US and please don't have the temerity to ask for service either !!
