[edit] History
The airline was established on 1 February 1971 as Air Sénégal and started operations on 23 February 2001. It was restructured as an international carrier following the acquisition of a majority stake by Royal Air Maroc in 2001. It is part of Groupe Royal Air Maroc, who own 51% of the company shares, with 49% being held by the Senegalese government[3]. In 2006 the airline disclosed losses of $16 Million[4]. In 2007, the Senegalese government stated that effective 5 November, it would purchase a further 26% of the airline, raising its stake to 75%[4][5]. The Senegalese government stated that support from Royal Air Maroc had "shown its limitations", and that the airline needed to be recapitalised.[5]
