The state airline of Cameroon, Camair-Co, is currently in talks with Austrian Airlines, which should lead to the purchase of two DHC Dash 8-400s. The Austrian carrier will be based on the current planning status from the summer flight schedule in 2021 no longer use. Eight units are currently still in operation.

According to the News Aero portal, the first machine could move to Cameroon as early as May 2021. Camair-Co confirmed to Aviation Direct that it is interested in buying turbo aircraft from Austrian Airlines' inventory, but no contract has yet been signed. The carrier from Cameroon did not want to provide further details. A DHC Dash 8-400 is already in use, but it is a wet lease aircraft operated by the South African Cemair, which is mainly used on domestic flights.

Camair-Co, in its full company name Cameroon Airlines Corporation, was founded in 2011. The home base is Douala Airport. The fleet currently consists of one Boeing 737-300, two 737-700, one 676-300 and two Xi'an MA-60s. The further use of the last-mentioned model is still uncertain, because one of the two machines was damaged in 2019. One of the two 737-700 is not operational and the Boeing 767-300 has been parked for a long time.
