Another General Manager at the helm of the national pride, Cameroon Airlines Company (Camair-Co), has been installed in Douala with firm instructions to halt business class.
The class, the Minister of Transport, Robert Nkili, said are indebting the company since very few seats are occupied during each flight.
The Minister said the company under the auspices of its fifth General Manager, Jean-Paul Nana Sandjo, will no more consider passengers for the business class but economic class which has a swift turnover.
For Camair-Co to go beyond the third position (11 per cent of the market) it occupies among the 20 airline companies operational in Cameroon, Robert Nkili said there is an urgent need to revisit and adjust the last contract that has and is still plunging the lone airline company into debts.
A genuine business plan according to the Minister will take the company forward since two new Chinese-made aircrafts will soon touch the Douala International airport, Garoua, Maroua-Salak, and the Yaounde Nsimalen airports.
Earlier in the presence of Camair-Co’s Board Chair, Edouard Akame Mfoumou, the Minister in his installation speech reminded the installed General Manager that he should work under the authority of the Board of Directors, thus hierarchy should be strictly respected.
The National airline company that had its inaugural flight five years after creation in 2006 comes third in the classification table of the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority’s statistics report on airline companies in Cameroon after Air France and Brussels Airlines.
