The Air Africa airline started flights in 1991, operated by Moscow Airways with a few destinations but closed in 1996 after the 1996 Air Africa crash.
On 8 January 1996, an Air Africa Antonov An-32 aircraft (RA-26222) which had been wet-leased by Moscow Airways to Scibe Airlift crashed into a market shortly after taking off from N'Dolo Airport in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, killing approximately 300 people (see 1996 Air Africa crash). At the time, the Russian Ministry of Transport had "suspended or withdrawn" Moscow Airways' air operator's license.
