Why, since the demise of Air Afrique in 2002, has West and Central Africa never managed to have a national airline, or even one based in the region, capable of serving intercontinental routes in general, and Europe in particular? Why have more than forty attempts, in more than 25 countries, been unsuccessful?<\/em> \"asks the company boss.<\/p>\r\n<p>Laurent Loukou concludes: \" <em>Admittedly, we will face challenges in this new adventure.
