It was founded in 2012, <strong>Air C\u00f4te d'Ivoire<\/strong> only serves regional destinations - 17 in total. It also used to serve New York in code share with Ethiopian Airlines. But the route has been suspended since the Covid pandemic. <strong>Its fleet comprises 11 aircraft<\/strong> including 4 Airbus A319s and 3 Airbus A320s. Two Airbus A319Neo are also on order.<\/p>\n<p>Rumours of a <strong>Qatar Airways to acquire a stake in C\u00f4te d'Ivoire's national airline<\/strong>would be a win-win situation. Because the main shareholder - the State - is singularly lacking in resources for the development of the national carrier. In 2020, Air C\u00f4te d'Ivoire's traffic was halved to less than 350,000 passengers. And its deficit has widened. The airline has yet to make a single profit since its launch in 2012...<\/p>\n<p>Qatar Airways could thus help to develop the Air C\u00f4te d'Ivoire fleet and densify the network. The Ivorian carrier generates more than 50% of traffic at Abidjan airport, for which there is an expansion plan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qatar Airways, for its part, has made no secret of its desire to establish itself in West Africa.<\/strong>. The carrier is already a shareholder in Rwandair and in Kigali airport since 2019. But West Africa would allow it to <strong>launch services from Qatar to the United States with a stopover in Abidjan. <\/strong>Or Lom\u00e9, another city in the running to attract the Qatari company...<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qatar has been forging closer strategic ties with C\u00f4te d'Ivoire for several years now<\/strong> - particularly in tourism and transport. Last January, the <strong>Kasada Capital Management<\/strong>an autonomous subsidiary of Katara Hospitality, Qatar's hotel investment arm, <strong>acquired eight hotels in the<\/strong> <strong>Accor Group<\/strong> in C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, but also in Senegal and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/douala-se-prepare-a-devenir-la-premiere-metropole-centrafricaine-20201117.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cameroon<\/a>. Qatar has also helped finance part of a motorway between Yamoussoukro, the administrative capital, and Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n<p>This presence would therefore give an undeniable advantage to cooperation between Qatar Airways and Air C\u00f4te d'Ivoire. And it should also benefit passengers...<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/qatar-airways-avios-20220324.html\/\" data-id=\"122805\">Qatar Airways QMiles transformed into IAG Avios<\/a><\/p><\/aside>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to some African media, Air C\u00f4te d'Ivoire could soon be owned by Qatar Airways.
