Air Djibouti, also known as Red Sea Airlines, was the national airline of Djibouti between 1963 and 2002.[1] [2]
Air Djibouti was established in 1962 as Air Somali.[3] Operations commenced in April 1963 under the Air Djibouti name, and in the 1960s the airline operated Douglas DC-3s, a Beechcraft Model 18 and a Beechcraft Musketeer.[1] In the early 1970s, the fleet also included a Douglas DC-6; the two Beechcrafts had been replaced by a Bell JetRanger helicopter and a Piper Cherokee Six.[3]
From 1998 onwards, the Air Djibouti fleet consisted of only one single Airbus A310 aircraft.[4]
