Air Djibouti
 
I could not see reference to this anywhere else.

Air Djibouti’s first passenger flight in 14 years landed in the small nation on Thursday with Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson at the controls.

The airline, one of Africa’s oldest, shut down all operations in 2002 but partially relaunched in August 2015 with a cargo service as the continent’s aviation industry became increasingly competitive.

Dickinson, frontman of the heavy metal band – whose hits include The Number of the Beast, Run for the Hills and Aces High – is also a pilot and owns the company which will manage the airline.

He flew the plane into Djibouti from Cardiff, Wales.

Well that's certainly a change from the days of the Air Djib DC3, it's captain (the owner) it's co-pilot (his wife) and the stewardess/ticket seller (his daughter). I don't recognise those runways either but, maybe, that's just age.
