Air Phoenix for Senegal?

The fate of Air Senegal is still up in the air according to new sources. After the withdrawal of Royal Moroccan from the airline, Karim Wade, the new infrastructure minister, says that a deal has been struck where Royal Moroccan will provide "operational support" while Senegal's government goes it alone.

But despite the optimism expressed by Karim Wade after the deal, the news reports say that major obstacles stand in the way of any liftoff for Air Senegal, including payments for two airplanes and the approval of the new operations by international air regulators.
