Our History
West African's story begins in 2012 when it was founded as unofficial state carrier for the Republic of Sahara City, a micro-nation situated between modern-day Mali and Mauritania. It was, and still is, 50% state-owned by Sahara City.
The airline flew King Air charter flights until 2016, when it began its first scheduled routes with the Bombardier Dash 8. Since then, it's been rapidly expanding its network, dedicating itself to connecting small West African villages, regional capitals, and international destinations in a streamlined network of air travel.
Its home base is Sahara Prestige International Airport in Sahara City. With the advent of the Airbus A220, it sought to expand into central and eastern Africa to compete with the likes of Ethiopian Airlines.
The airline now has a secondary hub at Lagos, Nigeria, and has had a brand revamp featuring new a new livery, new uniforms, but the same service and quality you expect from a leading continental air carrier.
