Though it was in the red until recently, Air Burkina is making a fast turnround that would soon give the company a higher profile as a regional carrier in West Africa.
Thanks to its privatisation this year, the company is aiming at a 3.5 billion CFA francs business turnover this year.

Set up in 1966, Air Burkina took off the following year with a 35 million CFA francs share capital of which 56 percent was held by the state, 17 percent was owned by SOGETRAF (a subsidiary company of Air France) and 17 percent by the private sector in Burkina Faso.
