Business Opportunity in West Africa

Market pricing differentials have created a huge opportunity for shuttle flights between Freetown, Sierra. Leone, Conakry, Guinea, and Monrovia, Liberia. 8-10 pax heli and crew would do quite well.

This might be a fine opportunity for the OP of the thread below. He seems more than capable of putting together excellent business models.

Professional advice

What market pricing are you talking about? Most people in those countries live hand-to-mouth, and don't fly anywhere by helicopter!

Lonewolf,

6 years ago I always had 2 handles of Tito’s on hand…. Unfortunately the best I can lay down is 2 bottles of 2011 Bordeaux or 30 twelve packs of Diet Coke that were ridiculously cheap before Christmas.

A heli between Freetown and Monrovia? It’s around 200 NM! Might work between Freetown and Conakry?
