Announce a startup airline and 3 months later, fuckery with the desired airframe.

But what’s interesting is who is behind this airline. Some former American Airlines executives are involved in starting up this airline, including Tom Horton, former CEO of American Airlines, as well as Virasb Vahidi, former CCO of American Airlines.

Green Africa Airways sounds to me like Africa’s most ambitious airline startup ever. Ordering a minimum of 50 firm Boeing 737 MAX aircraft before even launching operations sure is a big commitment.

It sounds to me like this airline is fairly legitimate based on who is behind it. However, there are so many roadblocks and challenges to starting an airline, and I imagine that’s only amplified further when you’re dealing with the African aviation market.
