n spite of running rumours
referring to turbulent moments
facing the Cameroon Airline
Company, CAMAIR-Co, the
new management team has
been consistent. The Ernest
Dikoume team put in place
on 22 August, 2016 came with
an innovation by announcing
local flights for a start before
envisaging sub-regional and
international market. Sceptics
who remained focused on the
crisis period within the company
saw nothing good in the initiative
to tackle the national market
first. The replacement of Mefiro
Oumarou, Minister Delegate
at the Ministry of Transport on
25 April, 2017; a few months
after his appointment by Louis
Georges Njifendi Kouotou as
Board Chair fuelled the rumours,
but failed to dampen the resolve
of management.
With 80 flights advertised to
cover some key towns in the
country like Douala, Yaounde,
Bafoussam, Ngaoundere, Garoua and Maroua, the company
officials already demonstrated
their ambitions by including Cotounou in Benin and N’Djamena
in Chad. In addition, the reintegration of their building instead
of the rents which swallowed
huge sums of scarce finances
in the company gave another
glimmer of hope to many.
While the towns that are
being earmarked for future
CAMAIR-Co flights impatiently
await their turn, there general spirit seem to be towards
ensuring that hurdles of the
past remain lost and gone. The
presence of Ernest Dikoume
in the North region recently
to talk to the population and
the media has been seen as
salutary by many who felt it
was more than time for such
public relations effort at a time
scepticism was gaining much
ground concerning the health
of the carrier.
