The international flight programme will include Paris from Yaoundé and N'Djamena (Chad). The carrier will start operations with a B767-300ER, which has a seat capacity of 210, and a B737-700 with 128 seats. Camair-Co currently has 330 members of staff and is scheduled to employ up to 450 in the future. [more]
