Colombe Airlines (CBL, Ouagadougou) is set to take delivery of its first jet, a MD-83, N589BC (msn 49662), formerly with Nordic Airways (Stockholm Arlanda). According to Skyliner Aviation, the aircraft is currently in Shannon awaiting its ferry flight to Burkina Faso.

While it currently offers daily flights between Ouagadougou and Bobo Dioulasso using an ATR42-300 wet-leased from Portugal's Lease Fly (Cascais), the carrier intends to use the MD-83 to open up its first regional routes to Niamey, Bamako, Accra, and Abidjan.
