(Business in Cameroon) - At the end of a meeting with Minister of Commerce, Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana, the new Tunisian Ambassador to Cameroon, Karim Ben Becher, made new revelations about the direct air link project to connect Cameroon and Tunisia. According to the diplomat,
discussions are underway to see if there is a possibility to revive the project either through the national air carrier [TunisAir] or through the private sector, the Ministry of Commerce reported on its Facebook page.
The diplomat provides no further details about the ongoing discussions but the project involving Tunisair opening a direct air route to Cameroon should have been launched in 2020. However, with the coronavirus pandemic, it did not come to fruition. T
