Equatorial Guinea’s Punto Azul Launches

According to eturbonews, Equatorial Guinea’s newest airline Punto Azul has announced the commencement of its flight operations.
The port city of Bata will be the airline’s first domestic destination, with three daily frequencies, with the option of a fourth. Flights to Sao Tome and Principe will make up the airline’s first regional destination.
All Punto Azul flights will be operated by 48-seat Embraer Jet 145 aircraft, with a single cabin configuration. The airline has recently taken delivery of three of these jets and has an operator agreement with National Airways Corporation (NAC) of South Africa, while it works towards obtaining its own AOC.
The airline will fly twice a week from Malabo to Sao Tome and Principe. Though not formally announced yet, Punto Azul is expected to launch flights to Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon, among other key Central and West African destinations.
