Keep a piece of Air Afrique history close with a double-sided keychain charm made for daily carry and collector displays. Air Afrique was formally founded in 1961 as the transnational airline of francophone West and Central Africa, with headquarters in Abidjan. Its network linked African capitals with Europe and North America before operations ended in 2002. A compact tribute to a defining name in Pan-African aviation.
Air 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.
