Air Senegal International (ASI) has stopped operations as a row between the Senegalese state and majority shareholder Royal Air Maroc (RAM) has grounded all remaining flights, the Moroccan airline said on Friday.
RAM, which owns 51 percent of ASI and had provided several aircraft, recalled its last plane from the airline's fleet earlier this month, leaving ASI, one of West Africa's few reliable carriers, with just two operating planes.
RAM criticised Senegal for the country's unilateral decision in 2007 to take majority control of the airline, a move that has not yet materialised. RAM also says Senegal owes the company about 4 million euros.
RAM has taken a "you want it, you can have it" posture lately, adopting an orderly but insistent withdrawal from the company.
