Plans are afoot for another regional airline to take to the African skies. 
While those behind the operation are keeping a low profile and not divulging any details, TNW has discovered that a regional carrier similar to fastjet, called FlyAfrica, is being developed. 
Based on information from social networking site LinkedIn, the ceo of the airline is Godfrey Banga, who, it appears, has no prior experience in the aviation field. He states on his profile that he is “in the process of setting up a passenger and cargo airline to operate domestic, regional and international routes”. According to LinkedIn, Adrian Hamilton-Manns is project leader of the new airline. Adrian has a wealth of experience in aviation, including previously holding the position of SAA’s executive vp of commercial.
The website, www.flyafrica.com, features the slogan: “Africa’s Low Fare Airline” and says “The Revolution is Coming!” with a countdown clock: 2 months, 22 days, 18 hours…
