History

Equatair was established in December 2004. Its predecessor, Aerolíneas de Guinea Ecuatorial, was closed by order of the government, and its Antonov aircraft were used to create Equatair. The aircraft were subsequently involved in a fatal accident, [1] thus leaving the airline without any aircraft. In 2006, Equatair was disestablished.
