Air Afrique?

What's the latest on Air Afrique? Were they not in financial trouble as of late? Are they still around? What are they flying? <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Air Afrique is OUT !

They have got plane sitting in the ground around west Africa for month. One of their A310 is in Douala ( Cameroon ) . I don't think they will find a buyer or someone crazy enough to re-start something who fail since they started .

Thank you Air France and the french gov who has been sponsoring them for years.

Is it true they were paying their Airbus Captains 15,000us per month? <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

WOW where you pulled that 15000 USD from . Last Captain that jumpseated with me was making 1500 USD a month when it was a good month.

I think that the failure was more to the corrupt management filling their pockets than lack of business.

Ah a contract guy... Thats a different pic. This fellow on the jumpseat was a local ( Congolese ) so he would have been employed on local terms. Quite different I guess.
