Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA; African Aviation Company), renamed FlyCAA in 2013,[1] is a regional airline from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, based at N'djili Airport in Kinshasa.[2] It offers an extensive network of domestic scheduled passenger flights,[3] as well as cargo flights. Due to safety and security concerns, CAA has been included in the list of air carriers banned in the European Union.[4]

History

Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation was founded in 1991 and started operations on 26 December 1992.[5]

In 2013 merged with FlyCongo and formed FlyCAA.[6]

In January 2016, the airline terminated their only international route to Johannesburg after failing to receive renewed traffic rights.[7]

In 2020, the airline acquired an Airbus A330-200 with the stated intention of flying to Brussels, which under current European Union restrictions would require CAA to operate the service using foreign registration and crew.[8]

Accidents and incidents

The only fatal accident involving an aircraft of Compagnie d'Aviation Africaine occurred on 4 March 2013, when a Fokker 50 (registered 9Q-CBD) crashed near Goma International Airport. Of the nine people who had been on the flight from Lodja, six were killed.[13] There were however a number of non-fatal incidents which resulted in CAA aircraft being damaged beyond repair:

  • On 1 April 1997, a Convair CV-580 (registered 9Q-CRU) was destroyed at Tshikapa Airport when it overshot the runway and hit an embankment following a failed take-off abortion. There were fourteen occupants on board the scheduled flight to Mbuji-Mayi.[14]
  • On 18 November 1999, another CV-580 (registered 9Q-CEJ) had to be written off following an off-airport emergency landing near Tshikapa due to an engine failure that had been encountered shortly into the flight to Kananga.[15]
  • On 19 November 2009, Flight 3711 from Kinshasa overran the runway upon landing at Goma Airport. Of the 117 occupants on board the aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 registered 9Q-CAB, around 20 were injured.[16]
  • On 2 January 2010, a cargo-configured Boeing 727 (registered 9Q-CAA) veered off the runway during an emergency landing attempt in heavy rain at N'djili Airport. Previously, the pilots had reported a loss of hydraulic pressure.[17]
