Equatair (Equatorial Express Airlines) was an airline in Equatorial Guinea.

The airline was on the list of air carriers banned in the European Union.

History

Equatair was established in December 2004. Its predecessor, AerolĂ­neas de Guinea Ecuatorial, was closed by order of the government, and its Antonov aircraft were used to create Equatair. The aircraft were subsequently involved in a fatal accident,[1] thus leaving the airline without any aircraft. In 2006, Equatair was disestablished.
