[edit] History

An African International Airways Douglas DC-8-62

The airline was established and started operations in 1985 in Swaziland to operate contract services on behalf of other airlines. It was reorganised in 1988 after Intavia took a stake in the company and services were refocused on worldwide charter cargo services. A commercial alliance with South African carrier Executive Aerospace was established in 2002. The airline is owned by PJM Corbin and JL Warburton McBride (76%) and Intavia (24%)^[2].

Its contracted cargo aircraft were provided for Alitalia's sub-services for 11 years until 1996 and subsequently for short term periods to South African Airways, Air Gabon, Air Mauritius and latterly to British Airways World Cargo. UK company Intavia assists in providing the management of African International Airways.^{[citation needed]}
