flyART outlines proposed operational plans

flyArt Logo

flyART Aviation (T2, N'Djamena) is planning to tap into both the regional African market as well as the Chadian hajj charter market, senior manager Hervé Gueusquin has said.

Speaking to African Aerospace, Gueusquin said that in terms of Hajj flights, flyART is looking at tapping into the pilgrimage market using either chartered B747s or B777s. The Central African state currently has a designation of 12,000 pilgrims which are primarily being ferried to Saudi Arabia via flynas (XY, Riyadh).

In terms of scheduled regional services, Gueusquin said flyART is looking at wet-leasing in B737-300 equipment for scheduled flights from N'Djamena and Niamey, Niger, to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. Alternatively, it is looking at partnering an established low-cost carrier, such as flydubai (FZ, Dubai Int'l), either through a codeshare on its own flights or through the sale of block seats on LCC-operated flights. Talks are currently underway, Gueusquin said although no firm deal has yet been reached.

The latter business option may be jeopardized by Ethiopian Airlines (ET, Addis Ababa) and its ongoing talks to establish an airline in Chad; a move that could cost flyART its designated carrier status and the traffic rights associated with it.

Formerly Afrijet Chad (N'Djamena), flyART is a sister carrier to Gabon's Afrijet Business Service (J7, Libreville). At present, it operates a single Falcon 900D on private charters.

THE COFFEE ENTREPRENEUR WHO TRANSFORMS LIVES IN UGANDA: ANDREW RUGASIRA.

Looking at the article below on CNN about Andrew Rugasira "the Coffee entrepreneur who transforms lives in Uganda", it inspired me to think and reflect on the possibility for Africans and many developed countries to not only produce raw materials but transformation to finished products for global consumption. African countries should work hand in glove, helping each other through an extensive business web or network. I believe Africa as a continent has come of age and the time is ripe when our politicians should focus on increasing responsibility and eradicate preoccupations like corruption. (CNN) -- Tired of seeing developed nations take the lion's share of profits from his countrymen's coffee crop, Ugandan businessman Andrew Rugasira decided back in 2003 that it was time for a new business arrangement. Uganda is Africa's second-biggest exporter of coffee beans, currently producing around 3.4 million bags per year . Yet instead of being refined loc...

SAA eyes 5th Freedom for African Skies.

Image
SAA Fleet in Airline Livery Given the success it has seen at its West African hub in Accra, Ghana, South African Airways (SA, Johannesburg O.R. Tambo) is seeking to expand its 5th Freedom business model to include more destinations across Africa. The Star Alliance carrier began operations out of the Ghanaian capital to each of Abidjan and Washington Dulles in August 2015 by virtue of the country's liberal policy of awarding foreign carriers 5th Freedom traffic rights. Similar rights have since been secured from the Gabonese and Cameroonian governments paving the way for the launch of a 3x weekly Johannesburg O.R. Tambo-Libreville-Douala-Libreville-Johannesburg service. As such, the carrier's acting General Manager (Commercial), Aaron Munetsi, told African Aerospace earlier this year that as part of SAA's renewed focus on developing its continental African market access, it is now looking to expand the offering to countries closer to home. Among the African c...
