Cameroon: "Mesonge d'Etat" as Made in China planes go invisible

The MA60 Chinese planes that Cameroon’s Minister of Transport, Edgard Alain Mebo Ngo’o told the world would start commercial operations soon, still remain invisible to date. The controversial CPDM cabinet minister inaugurated the flights on January 23rd 2016 between Yaounde and Douala and revealed that the first destination was the city of Baffoussam in the West region. 

The Bamougoum-Baffousaam airport had been revamped ever since December, yet no signs of Chinese MA60 planes. In a typical CPDM style, the General Manager of Camair-co, Paul Nana Sandjo, has gone on the offensive reassuring Cameroonians that "The MA60 is there and I can assure you that they are in good condition. They have no technical problem.”

Both planes assigned to the Douala-Yaounde line after the ceremony of the inaugural flight have been parked with the closure of the Douala International Airport on March the 1st. Paul Nana Sandjo was quick to explain recently when he did observed that "the temporary closure of the Douala International Airport has also interrupted this service."

Our Camair-co informant hinted the GM was slowly but surely getting fedup with lies telling only to defend the regime. Speaking of the Made in China planes to the media a while ago, the Camair-co GM noted: "Due to lack of qualified staff, we preferred to wait. It is useless to go there one day and wait weeks to be able to return. The planes will resume service as the reopening of the airport platform scheduled for 21 March”.
