Mid Africa Aviation or Fly Mid Africa was a passenger airline based out of the Gambia.[1][2]
History
Mid Africa Aviation was founded in 2014 as an asset managing company by Gasm Elhaliq Babiker and registered 14 aircraft with the Gambia Civil Aviation Authority.[1]
The airline targeted its launch as May 15, 2017.[3]
In 2017 the airline commenced operations and would begin with services to Freetown in Sierra Leone using the Boeing 737 Classic and had its first flights to Banjul and Dakar.[4]
Shortly after commencing operations in June 2017 Mid Africa would commence flights to Lagos.[5]
The same year it landed a contract with a news company called Newsrest Ghana.[6]
Taron Avia Boeing 737s were added to the Mid Africa Aviation fleet in late 2019.[7]
Due to severe debt GSA and Peacock travel wanted to help Mid Africa clear its debt from the 11 million Nigerian Narias it owed.[8]
