The Swiss owned African Safari Airways was formed in 1967 and started operations in December of that year with the Aircraft Pictured. Britannia operations continued until late 1972
when the airline moved into all Jet Operations. Initially with Douglas
DC 8 Aircraft, then Douglas DC 10 Aircraft before switching to the Airbus A310.
Throughout the life of the Airline, all Aircraft operated with the Zebra Striped Tail as part of their livery. The Airline closed down Easter 2008. However the careful wording of its
sister company African Safari Club's web site tends to indicate the 'door has been left open' for a future restart!
