Solenta Aviation Group has added a maiden aircraft to its Solenta Aviation Côte d'Ivoire (SIV, Abidjan) unit's Air Operator's Certificate (AOC).

Skyliner Aviation reports ATR 72-200(F)/-500(F)/-600F ZS-XCA (msn 463) will be transferred to the Ivorian registry as TU-TTR later last month. The turboprop, which arrived in Abidjan late last month, will be deployed into service for DHL Express.

Previous Solenta aircraft that operated flights in the Ivory Coast have, for the most part, been retained on the South African registry.
