Gambia Bird Airlines Limited was the flag carrier airline of Gambia headquartered in Kanifing[1] with its home base at Banjul International Airport. It suspended operations in {{end date|2014|12}}.

History

Gambia Bird was founded by the German carrier Germania in October 2012.[2] The airline was launched in partnership with the Government of Gambia in order to replace the services of Air Afrique, which was liquidated in 2002.[5] Germania retained a 90% ownership share of Gambia Bird.[2]

The carrier started operations on {{start date|2012|10|22|df=yes}} with an Airbus A319-100 leased from Germania that flew between Banjul and Dakar.[7] Accra, Conakry, Freetown and Monrovia were added to the route network shortly afterwards; on {{start date|2012|10|24|df=yes}}, Gambia Bird operated its first service to London Gatwick.[9] Flights to Barcelona were introduced on {{date|28 oct}}.[10] A second A319 joined the fleet in {{start date|2012|11}}.[11]

In {{end date|2014|12}}, Gambia Bird suspended operations until further notice.[12][13][14] By May 2015, there had not been any resumption of services. The former aircraft of Gambia Bird are currently back in service with its parent, Germania.[3] In March 2015, Germania's CEO already stated that a resumption of services by Gambia Bird seems unlikely due to an insufficient perspective for the future development.[4]
