}}Air Centrafrique was the flag carrier of the Central African Republic from 1966 to the late 1970s. The company operated domestic services. It had its headquarters in Bangui.[1]

History

The carrier was formed as Compagnie Centre Africaine Air Bangui in 1966 in association with Air Afrique and Union de Transports Aériens (UTA),[2][3] with the latter providing management and technical assistance.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=33}} It was conceived to provide feeder services to Air Afrique.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=33}} Operations started in early 1967, linking Bangui with Berberati{{#tag:ref|It was also informed that the first services flown by the company linked Bangui with Birao.[4]|group="nb"}} using Douglas DC-3 aircraft.[2][3] In {{start date|1967|7}}, a Beech 95 Baron was acquired for flying new routes to Bakouma and Bangassou.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=33}}

One DC-3 and one Beech Baron made up the aircraft park at {{start date|1970|3}}.[7] Gaining flag carrier status, the company was renamed Air Centrafrique in mid-1971 following reorganisation after the government attempted to withdraw from the Air Afrique consortium earlier that year.[8]

The launching of Air Centrafrique as an independent airline was one of the moves of the proclaimed Emperor Bokassa I that indebted the country, to the point that banks began to refuse loans to the state in the same year.[1] Following the rupture with Air Afrique, agreements were signed with Zaire, Congo and Chad for Air Centrafrique to fly to those destinations.[2] On {{Date|1973-2-13}}, Bokassa issued a decree suspending operations of Air Centrafrique, due to a conflict with French navigation staff.[3]

By {{start date|1975|3}}, passenger scheduled services to Bangui, Bambari, Bangassou, Birao, Bouar, Bria, Carnot, M'Boki, Ouadda and Zemio were operated; seasonal flights were also undertaken during the safari hunting period.[12] A Caravelle 3 entered the fleet in the late 1970s.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=33}}{{#tag:ref|An aircraft of the type was included in the airline's fleet in 1972.[8]|group="nb"}}

The airline ceased operations between 1978 and 1979.{{#tag:ref|Air Centrafrique appeared in the World airline directory compilation published by Flight International in {{end date|1978|4}},[1] but the entry was removed from that directory in {{start date|1979|4}}.[15] It is assumed that the carrier ceased operations at some time within that period.|group="nb"}} The collapse of Air Centrafrique, along with other debacles of the Bokassa legacy, contributed to undermining the prestige of the Central African Republic internationally.[4]
