History
African International Airways was established and started operations in 1985 in Swaziland, initially concentrating on contract services on behalf of other airlines. Following Intavia taking a 24 percent stake in the company in 1988, the airline was restructured towards worldwide charter cargo services. A commercial alliance with South African carrier Executive Aerospace was established in 2002.[1] In late 2008, African International Airways was shut down.[2]
The most notable airlines African International Airlines was operating for were Alitalia (1985–1996), and later South African Airways and British Airways World Cargo.[citation needed]
