History

An Air Centrafrique Sud Aviation Caravelle at Le Bourget Airport in 1972.

The carrier was formed as Compagnie Centre Africaine Air Bangui in 1966 in association with Air Afrique and Union de Transports Aériens (UTA),[2][3] with the latter providing management and technical assistance.Шаблон:Sfnp It was conceived to provide feeder services to Air Afrique.Шаблон:Sfnp Operations started in early 1967, linking Bangui with Berberati[nb 1] using Douglas DC-3 aircraft.[2][3] In Шаблон:Start date, a Beech 95 Baron was acquired for flying new routes to Bakouma and Bangassou.Шаблон:Sfnp

One DC-3 and one Beech Baron made up the aircraft park at Шаблон:Start date.[5] Gaining flag carrier status, the company was renamed Air Centrafrique in mid-1971 following reorganisation after the government attempted to withdraw from the Air Afrique consortium earlier that year.[6]

The launching of Air Centrafrique as an independent airline was one of the moves of the proclaimed Emperor Bokassa I that indebted the country, to the point that banks began to refuse loans to the state in the same year.[7] Following the rupture with Air Afrique, agreements were signed with Zaire, Congo and Chad for Air Centrafrique to fly to those destinations.[8] On 1973-2-13, Bokassa issued a decree suspending operations of Air Centrafrique, due to a conflict with French navigation staff.[9]

By Шаблон:Start date, passenger scheduled services to Bangui, Bambari, Bangassou, Birao, Bouar, Bria, Carnot, M'Boki, Ouadda and Zemio were operated; seasonal flights were also undertaken during the safari hunting period.[10] A Caravelle 3 entered the fleet in the late 1970s.Шаблон:Sfnp[nb 2]

The airline ceased operations between 1978 and 1979.[nb 3] The collapse of Air Centrafrique, along with other debacles of the Bokassa legacy, contributed to undermining the prestige of the Central African Republic internationally.[12]
