CAA to add 1st widebody

CAA - Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation, or FlyCAA, from Congo is about to take delivery of their first widebody aircraft. The plane involved is former Air Europa A330-200 EC-LQO. It arrived at Palma de Mallorca from Abu Dhabi on 29 October after maintenance and painting. It's seen here taking-off from Palma on 9 November on a pre-delivery testflight. Actual delivery is said to be planned for later this month. CAA will mainly deploy their latest addition on their new Kinshasa-Brussels route.

Currently, CAA's fleet consists of six aircraft; four Fokker 50s and two ATR-72s. In the past the airline also operated the A320 and A321, so they have some experience in flying with Airbuses.
