(Business in Cameroon) - Ernest Dikoum, former Regional Director of the company Emirates for Senegal and Guinea, was appointed as the new Managing Director of the national airline Camair Co, on Monday 22 August at the end of a Board meeting in Douala.

Mr Dikoum replaces Paul Nana Sandjo appointed on 20 June 2014. So, barely two years ago. The reasons of this dismissal have not yet been released but we can note that Mr Nana Sandjo, 5^th MD in the nine years of operation of Camair Co took over a dying company: FCfa 30 billion in debt, barely three aircraft. Recently, salary arrears of an overstaffed personnel (750 employes) were added to this.

Finally, an audit to restart the company was ordered by the Cameroonian government. The American company Boeing Consulting retained for this operation since 15 December 2015 proposed a plan including the acquisition of 14 aircraft and a financial subsidy of FCfa 327 billion over a five-year period. A recovery plan which will no longer be managed by Paul Nana Sandjo. Who was removed at the same time as the President of the board Edouard Akame Foumou, replaced by the Deputy Minister of Transport, Mefiro Oumarou.
