Camair-Co’s plane blocked in Paris for non-compliance

Camair-Co’s Boeing 737, the only plane in service out of the five aircraft owned by Cameroon Airlines Corporation (Camair-Co) has been blocked since last Thursday morning at Charles de Gaulle in Paris by the Directorate General of French Civil Aviation (DGCA) for “non-compliance”.

Reports say the plane from Cameroon was noticed to have serious damage during a routine check by French specialists. A source says such checks which are required for each take-off and it may take several days to repair.

The question is why France again and why is it that the State own airline keeps having problems leading the grounding of its fleets?

Contacted by APA to understand the extent of the problem and the potential for the rapid normalization CEO, Jean Paul Sandjo Nana, did not respond to this solicitation.

In December 2015, a Boeing Aircraft belonging to Cameroon national carrier was seized in France for non-payment of its debts.Another Boeing the Dja is currently being held in Ethiopia for unpaid bills. Also, the recently inaugurated MA60 grounded because of repair works at the Douala airport.

Camair-Co said in a statement on Wednesday that it will expand its routes. With the opening of new routes within and outside the country.The opening of the Yaounde-Bafoussam and Douala-Bafoussam lines by the end of March 2016, and then follow Bertoua and Bamenda.

It also says it plans to open the South Africa, Senegal and Brussels in Europe line before the United States. But with no plane no flying now, the question is who is fooling who?
