Intéressant.

J'ai du manquer un épisode. Cette compagnie devait normalement etre céee en coopération, avec la Rwandair et Air Burundi (plus de vols depuis mai 2007). Il n'a jamais été question que la HBA fasse partie de la compagnie. A aucun moment ils n'avaient parlé de congolais.

En plus aucune ligne sur le Rwanda ou le Burundi, quel charabia .

La seule chose véridique c'est la license de vol mauricienne. La flotte devait etre composée uniquement de BAE, ils ont rajoutés des 737 (tant mieux remarque).

A mon avis, il y a du se passer quelque chose et le projet avec le Rwanda et le Burundi est tombé à l'eau.

C'est quand meme bien pour le Congo.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

A en croire skyliner, c'est Meridiana qui serrait le partenaire de la Rwandair..

Today, on September 12th the first of seven MD87s is taking off from Olbia with destination Africa. AKFED (Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development) had acquired during recent privatization processes the control of two West African airlines, in Air Burkina 76% and in Compagnie Aerienne du Mali 51%. Air Uganda has been set up as a new airline and will commence flight operations on regional routes effective November this year. Meridiana as partner of Rwandair Express will be another operator. Groupe Celestair is the name of the holding of all airlines of the group.

Il me semble que IG n'a pas de M87 mais seulement des 319, AT4, M82 et M83.

Méridiana=IG ne possède que 4 A319 et 17 M82/83 et c'est tout

Les 2 ou 3 premiers MD-87 sont des anciens Iberia. Celui du Air Burkina est un ex EC-EXR.

Pour les autres je pense que sa sera la meme chose

Non non avion, IG possède bien 3 AT4 en plus loué par avanti air dont un est opéré en Italie (route de FCO à destination de l'italie, très courte distance...) financé par la région Italienne concerné.

Je suis formel IL N'Y A PAS D'ATR MERIDIANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merci

aucun qui vole pour les couleur de IG, cela est sûre mais je reste sur ma position:
http://www.ch-aviation.ch/aircraft.php?search=set&airline=IG&al_op=1

D'où tu as vu que ces ATR appartiennent à IG?
Ce sont des ex RFD!

Je me base sur les informations de ce site pour consulter les flottes d'appareils des diverses compagnies dans le monde.
Quand je vois 3 AT4 dans la liste de la compagnie, j'approfondis ma recherche et je vois qu'ils sont dans la flotte des avions appartenant à la compagnie (ils sont loué apparamment), donc je me fie, à cela!
Après je peux me tromper je suis juste les infos marquées!
ça sert à rien de s'énérver

change de site, IG N'A JAMAIS EU D'ATR

ah oui mais non (ou plutot non, mais oui ) ,
ce sont trois AT42 d'avanti air qui operent des vols pour le compte de meridiana, mais il sont juste loue... donc pour moi angel a raison.

Partenza Arrivo Tratta Volo Tipo A/M
15/09/2007 08:45 15/09/2007 09:25 TRAPANI - PANTELLERIA
operato da AvantiAir IG 1331 ATR

La compagnie se prénomera AirDC. Sa flotte sera composée de 4 BAE-146 et 2 B737-800. Les BAE desserviront l'intérieur du pays, quand aux 737-800 ils desserviront l’Angola, le Nigeria, l’Afrique du Sud, le Kenya, le Burundi et le Rwanda.

En esperant que ça marche, et que sa donne une meilleure vision de l'aviation made in Congo.

Apparement BruAir est toujours en course, pour baser des avions au Rwanda. Ceci dit il y a un hic avec la future flotte.

While a request for comments from the airline was not responded to it could nevertheless be established, that the exercise has not been concluded in January, as was widely expected. Informed sources confirmed under cover of anonymity, that Rwandair’s review of the proposals took in particular issue with the types of aircraft floated by the two remaining bidders.

Meridiana, an airline based in Italy, had proposed to introduce some of their own aged MD 87 series, but Rwandair had disposed of a similar model some time ago due to the cost of operation of this particular aircraft type in favor of a Boeing 737-500. There is also negative perception in the region about such ‘investors’ bringing old equipment and peddling it as ‘state of the art’ as does the travel market not appreciate the use of old aircraft, when regional giant Kenya Airways has a truly modern fleet in operation.

Brussels Airlines too ran into predictable questions when they initially offered to use the BAe 146, which the airline is progressively retiring from the European fleet. Again, this particular aircraft type is not considered suitable to the climatic operating conditions and elevations across Eastern Africa, nor would it allow non stop flights from Kigali to Johannesburg.

A decision is now expected in coming weeks, after updated proposals are being reviewed at present, though no precise timeframe is available from the airline. Meanwhile, application deadlines for several advertised positions for personnel were extended this week to allow for more applications to be submitted to the airline’s offices in Kigali, Entebbe, Kilimanjaro, Bujumbura, Johannesburg and Nairobi.

in favor of a Boeing 737-500.

Et nan depuis janvier 2008, les malawites ont rapatrié de toute urgence leur 737-500, pour remplacer leur 737-300 qui part un peu en lambeaux. Rwandair vole avec un.....737-200 (c'est vrai que c'est plus économique qu'un MD-87 ), loué à Inter Air ou Nationwide:suspect: . En tout cas le 737-200 (d'Inter Air ou Nationwide ) a fait une belle entrée en matiere.

Rwanda: Belgian Carrier Still Wants Rwandair Stake

Kigali

Despite the bad publicity arising from scandals that have rocked the national carrier Rwandair Express, one of the prospective buyers says it is not about to give up on acquiring a portion of the lucrative region, RNA reports.

"I can confirm (to) you that Brussels Airlines, the only airline offering direct services between Rwanda and Europe, still wants to be partner in the privatisation process of Rwandair Express", said Mr. Geert Sciot - Vice President Communication - External Communication.


"With our operational knowledge, experience and our flight service to Europe we think that we can be the ideal partner of Rwandair and an ideal airline partner in the whole Great Lakes region."

The former CEO of the national carrier Mr. Manzi Kayihura is facing the law on a wide range of allegations that have also prompted the intervention of President Paul Kagame. He has described the performance of Rwandair as unacceptable.

Brussels Airlines and the Aga Khan-owned Meridiana Airlines have been battling to take over Rwandair Express but disagreements still remain as how much the buyers want and what government can offer.

Privatization officials had put up 40 percent stake for sale but by October last year but the two bidders wanted 51 percent. Government employed the services of the International Finance Corporation - IFC as the transaction advisor.

In December, the Belgian carrier added a third weekly flight to Brussels in a move that Mr. Sciot said was "welcomed by the many clients who prefer our service to Brussels, Europe and the US".

He told RNA on Friday that Brussels Airlines is investing in its activities in Rwanda. This is probably aimed at keeping its grip of the market as it waits to see if it can win up the stake.

Meanwhile, the passenger safety dispute between Kenya Airways and Rwandair Express took a new turn, bringing to an abrupt end a four -year business partnership between the airlines.

Mr. Gerald Zirimwabogabi, the executive chairman of Rwandair, told Business Day that Kenya Airways had been asking Rwandair passengers to sign an indemnity form relieving the Kenyan carrier of any liability in case of disaster aboard Rwandair aeroplanes.



Kenya Airways is said to be unhappy with a recent decision by Rwandair to lease planes from Kenyan aviation company Jetlink. KQ alleges that Jetlink's aircraft do not meet international safety standards, the daily reports, the Kenyan daily reported. But Rwandair has disputed that saying the aircraft is safe.

Available information also indicates that Rwandair is on the verge of acquiring a Boeing 737-300 to replace the Boeing 737-200, grounded recently and led to cancellation of several flights.

A day earlier to his detention by Police, the former CEO Mr. Kayihura ordered staff to withdraw the services of Boeing 737-200 that had been downed affecting flights to Johannesburg, Nairobi, Bujumbura, Entebbe and Kilimanjaro.
