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.

He flew the plane into Djibouti from Cardiff, Wales.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/12/iron-maiden-djibouti-bruce-dickinson-lands-first-passenger-jet
