Fly 6ix Network, Spring 2011

Just as the 50-year independence jubilee is celebrated, here is presented plucky little Sierra Leonian start-up Fly 6ix Airline, which on its January operational launch was designated by President Koroma as the new national airline.

A single Embraer 135 regional jet operates three times a week up and down the West African coast between Banjul, Conakry, Freetown, and Monrovia's secondary Spriggs-Payne airport, in the center of the Liberian capital. Best of luck to it--West Africa has far too few regional options.
