There doesn't seem to be anything notable about this airline. The article only cites three sources. All of which seem to be extremely trivial and nothing came up IMO that would pass WP:CORP when I did a search. Which isn't surprising considering they only flew one plane for a relatively short amount of time. Adamant1 (talk) 06:54, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Google news search [1] - mentions include [2] - operating on the Duola - Libreville route, this about the airline ceasing operations, this, which appears to state that it was the busiest airline in Gabon, this report of an interview with its CEO in a Government newspaper, this about its head being sent to jail, this which talks about the airline returning the body of a dead opposition politician back to Gabon. In addition, we have this, already used in the article, from which I found this, [3], [4], [5], together with lots of coverage of it being on the EU's list of banned airlines. From the coverage, which although some is brief, some of the articles are more significant, it is clear that it didn't just operate "one plane for a relatively short period of time". There is actually a fair amount of coverage for the airline, which appears to pass GNG.Nigel Ish (talk) 23:06, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I commend Nigel for sniping out the comment I was about to make, except with more sources. There seems to be a lot of coverage for this airline, mainly in French. One source even lists it as Gabon's unofficial flag carrier. [6] Acebulf (talk) 23:20, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note I have added a lot of information to the article, using the sources provided by User:Nigel Ish. Acebulf (talk) 00:26, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Apart from the sources given by Nigel Ish I also found sources ch-aviation [7]. Bingobro (Chat) 08:22, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
