(Business in Cameroon) - Camair-Co kept its promise. On October 27, 2017, the Cameroonian public airline, resumed its flights to Libreville. After a year of absence in Gabon’s airspace, Cameroon’s air carrier flies again to the capital of Gabon every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

According to the company’s officials, they will start new flights to Bangui (Central African Republic), Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), and Dakar (Senegal), soon.

For domestic flights, the airline company just completed its last "check flight" inside the country; in line with the opening of new flights Yaoundé-Bertoua and Douala-Bertoua, in the forest and mining region of East-Cameroon’s capital.

With the start of these new flights that it announced for very soon, CAMAIR-CO will fly, at the domestic level, to 8 of the 10 regions of Cameroon.

This network at the domestic level coupled with the initiated re-conquest of the regional market shows the signs of the success of CAMAIR-CO's recovery plan, suggested by BOEING in 2016, redesigned and implemented since the start of 2017 by the company's top management.

The recovery plan arranged for the repayment of CAMAIR-CO’s debt estimated at CFA35 billion approximatively, the injection of CFA60 billion by the government, the company’s majority shareholder, the extension of the network to 23 destinations, mainly domestic at first then regional and international. It also plans for the addition of new aircrafts to consolidate its fleet which will pass from 5 aircrafts to 12, the installation of a new maintenance platform and the start of air freight.
