All, It is with great pleasure that I announce that Phase 1 of the Historical Operations Overhaul has been completed. Effective today, you can fly some of the more recent Air Afrique flights that existed in their schedule in 1969.

Historical background: Air Afrique was originally conceived in February 1960 as a joint subsidiary of Air France and Union Aéromaritime de Transport (UAT) to take over the regional services these airlines had operated in Africa. The objective was the creation of a comprehensive network of internal air services within the countries that co-owned Air Afrique as well as international air services within Africa and beyond. The new company was registered in September 1960 as Air Afrique.

Special Thanks go out to Roger Taylor who has recently returned from a 6 month hiatus to take on this arduous task. Please take a minute and thank him for this thankless job smile
