Low-cost, start-up Camra Regional plans first flights to Cameroon
CAMRA Regional Airlines, a Toronto low-cost carrier, is planning scheduled chartered air cargo flights with a 20-ton payloads, to Bamenda, the capital of the northwest province of Cameroon.
It will later fly to other regional airports including, Douala, Yaounde, Bafoussam, Tiko, Ngoudere, Garoua in the Central African nation.
The privately-funded airline is gearing up to launch with two 34-seat passenger turboprop SAAB B340s and a cargo aircraft, and to offer domestic air transportation in Cameroon, in a bid to reduce the cost of domestic air transportation more than 15 per cent.
CAMRA will work with local partners to act as a "feeder" not only for the national airline "Camair-o" by offering code-share flights to new regional destinations within Cameroon, but also for other international carriers serving Cameroon, as its initial fleet will be suitable to land at regional airports.
Apart from the company's plans of linking places like Malabo, depending on support, charter services will be available for international flights, including heavy load cargo, helicopter and Medivac and executive jets, reported cameroon-concord.com.
It said the launch of the low-cost carrier is taking so long to get off the ground because the Ministry of Transport has been stalling the process of granting an operating licence for over a year now, according to the findings of alafnet's investigation.
Investors can develop cold feet because the investment promotion agency has refused to grant any incentive to the Canadian company in direct conflict with the MoU that was signed by the former Minister of Transport, Louis-Paul Motaze. It is now up to the new Transport Minister Allen Mebe Ngo'o to look in the matter.
