{"product_id":"air-afrique-car-coaster","title":"Air Afrique Car Coaster","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBring an Air Afrique reference along for every route. This car coaster celebrates the airline founded in 1961 to serve as a shared carrier for francophone West and Central Africa. Headquartered in Abidjan, Air Afrique connected cities including Dakar, Douala, Libreville, Brazzaville, and Yaoundé with international destinations. Its long history, from DC-4 beginnings to jet-age Boeing, Douglas, and Airbus fleets, makes this a small but meaningful collectible for drivers and aviation enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAir Afrique was a Pan-African airline headquartered in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, created as the official transnational carrier for francophone West and Central Africa. Conceived in February 1960 as a joint subsidiary of Air France and Union Aéromaritime de Transport, it was formally founded under the Treaty of Yaoundé on 28 March 1961. Eleven newly independent former French colonies supplied most of the original capital, while Air France and UAT each held 17 percent. Operations began on 1 August 1961 with leased DC-4 aircraft, and long-haul service followed that October. Boeing 707s entered intercontinental service in January 1962, followed by DC-8s, Caravelles, DC-10s, Airbus aircraft and Boeing types. UAT merged with TAI to form UTA in 1963; Air France later became UTA's controlling shareholder in 1990. Air Afrique served African, European and North American destinations, but financial difficulties deepened from the 1980s. It ceased operations in January 2002 and was declared bankrupt on 7 February 2002. Air France took over most of its routes, while proposed revival plans did not materialise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e2.6'' × 2.6\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eThickness, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e0.30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Made from 100% soapstone — naturally absorbent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in 1, 2, or 4-piece sets with the same print on each\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- One-sided full-color print with a matte finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 2.6″ × 2.6″ size fits most vehicle drink holders; notch for easy removal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Removable “Made in China” sticker on the bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"2.6'' × 2.6\" \/ 1pc","offer_id":54539432952092,"sku":"28398709866819936280","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.6'' × 2.6\" \/ 2pcs","offer_id":54539432984860,"sku":"31193193384236654079","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/17801109024822460469_2048.jpg?v=1788812464","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/air-afrique-car-coaster","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
