Afrinat International Airlines is basking on the euphoria of two awards it
recently won in the United States of America for rising up to fill the
vacuum left by Air Afrique.

The first award came from the California-based Travel Talk Radio in
recognition of the role its four weekly flights to four destinations in
Africa, The Gambia, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire and Cameroon, will play in the
promotion of tourism and investment in Africa.

A plaque to that effect reads, "In commemoration and with great
appreciation and honour, we fly the inaugural flight of Afrinat
International Airlines -In friendship and Peace-Travel Talk Radio."

The San Diego Conventions and Visitors Bureau also has an award for the
airline. Its plaque reads: "In commemoration of the inaugural flight of
Afrinat International Airlines -with warm regards and friendship -The San
Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau"

Travel Talk Radio Host and Producer, Sandy Dhuyvetter, told The Independent
that it would be an honour for her to be on the maiden flight of Afrinat
International Airlines which has a great potential to be the gateway to
Africa.

The maiden flight of the airline from JFK New York to the Banjul
International Airport scheduled for September 30 was postponed to a date
yet to be announced.
