Air France resumes Cameroon route

Air France said there had been 'new developments'

Airline Air France is resuming flights to Cameroon on Monday after a three-day suspension of its connections to Douala and Yaounde airports.

The national carrier had taken the action after France's civil aviation authority banned Cameroon Airlines from French airports, on safety concerns.

The airline had been worried its planes were not completely guaranteed of assistance at Douala airport.

A Cameroon union boss had threatened unspecified action against Air France.

'Technical constraints'

Eyango Djong had said there would be action unless the French Civil Aviation Authority reversed its decision on Friday to bar Cameroon Airlines from flying over France.

"In the light of developments in the situation, Air France has decided to resume flights to Cameroon," the airline said on Sunday.

"Because of technical constraints, Air France will resume its daily flights between Paris-Charles De Gaulle-Douala on Monday," it added.

France had suspended all flights by Cameroon Airlines for an indefinite period on safety grounds.
