History

It was established in 1998 by Jean-Christophe Bartz, airline transport pilot and business man with many interests within the airline industry in West Africa.[1] Operations started with a single Cessna Caravan (D4-CBJ). A few months later the Czech-made Let L-410 Turbolet were introduced. The airline employed 14 pilots including 2 freelancers.[2]

The little airline grew fast under the command of Captain JC Bartz and actively contributed to the tourism development on the island of Boa Vista. Captain JC Bartz sold the airline back in 2007 to the Portuguese group Omni Aviacao, the owner of White Airways. Its head office is at the Amílcar Cabral International Airport in Espargos, Sal.

gollark: I mean, you can have a system without... any optional dependency, yes.
gollark: Useful!
gollark: Partitions are quite irritating to resize, so you're stuck with however much storage you thought each thing would need (including a dedicated one for X11 for some reason?) and you can't use it as efficiently as with just / and /home or something.
gollark: It seems inflexible and annoying.
gollark: Check out my graphs.
