GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Start a new generation of aviation appreciation with an Air Afrique infant bodysuit. Air Afrique was founded in 1961 as a shared airline for francophone West and Central African nations, headquartered in Abidjan and remembered for its ambitious international network. Its long story moved from DC-4s to landmark jet fleets before the carrier closed in 2002. A thoughtful keepsake for families with ties to African travel, airline history, and Pan-African heritage.
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.
