According to ch-aviation, the Airbus A319 will be the Ivorian carrier's first self-owned aircraft.
While the airline has been busy expanding its regional network, and even mentioning a possible collaboration with Nigeria's Arik Air (W3), domestic operations have yet to begin.
Last year, Ivorian Minister of Transport, Gaoussou Touré, said domestic operations, though already planned, would only begin once infrastructure at local airfields and aerodromes had been carried out and was compliant with stipulated norms. Initial operations are expected to include Bouna, Bondoukou, Korhogo and Bouaké
