History

Equatair was established in December 2004. Its predecessor AerolĂ­neas de Guinea Ecuatorial was closed by order of the government and its Antonov aircraft was used to create Equatair. The aircraft was subsequently involved in a fatal accident,[1] thus leaving the airline without any aircraft. In 2006 Equatair was therefore disestablished.

Accidents and incidents

  • On 16 July 2005, an Antonov 24 crashed into a mountainous area near Baney, killing all 60 passengers and crew on board.
gollark: R515s have old AMD CPUs and are so 3 bad.
gollark: If you need MANY cores then yes, otherwise maybe not as single-core perf and efficiency of older ones is poor.
gollark: Many servers have two power supplies for redundancy, but they work (but complain) with just one.
gollark: Also big.
gollark: They're loud and power-hungry.
