Camair-Co's safety concerns: a wake-up call for the Cameroonian airline industry

The note, which was made public by journalist Boris Bertolt, outlines a series of critical issues that demand immediate attention from the airline's management and the aviation authorities.

The issues range from frequent breakdowns, maintenance alerts, deteriorating working conditions, service suspensions, non-compliant pilot practices, disorganized aircraft integration, lack of quality control, deteriorated social climate, inadequate organizational configuration, to foreign pilot refusals. These issues not only affect the operational efficiency and profitability of the airline, but also threaten the security and well-being of the crew and the customers.

The note attributes these issues to organizational deficiencies and a dire financial situation, which have been plaguing the airline since its inception in 2011. Camair-Co, which was created as a successor to the defunct Cameroon Airlines, has been struggling to survive and compete in the challenging and competitive African aviation market. The airline has been facing chronic losses, debts, mismanagement, corruption, and political interference, which have undermined its performance and reputation.

The note urges swift action to safeguard the airline's security, and advocates for aviation authorities to suspend flights and conduct a comprehensive safety audit, emphasizing the urgency of addressing systemic shortcomings. The note also calls for a radical overhaul of the airline's structure and strategy, and for a renewed commitment to quality and excellence.

The note is a wake-up call for the Cameroonian airline industry, which has been lagging behind its regional and continental peers in terms of growth, innovation, and standards. The note is also a challenge for the Cameroonian government, which owns 100% of Camair-Co, to take responsibility and accountability for the airline's situation, and to provide adequate and effective support and oversight. The note is also an opportunity for the Cameroonian public, which deserves a safe and reliable air transport service, to demand and expect better from their national carrier.

The note is a message to the world, that Camair-Co is facing a serious and urgent crisis, and that it needs help and cooperation from its partners and stakeholders to overcome it. The note is also a message to the world, that Camair-Co has the potential and the ambition to become a leading and successful airline in Africa, and that it is ready and willing to change and improve. The note is a message to the world, that Camair-Co cares and acts, or that Camair-Co neglects and fails. The note is a message to the world, that Camair-Co is a hope or a despair.
