Air Dabia


Air Dabia was a short-lived Gambian airline which flew between 1996 and 1998; it had a three-ship fleet. It was run by alleged fraudster Foutanga Babani Sissoko, whose conspicuous personal wealth had murky origins. In its short period of operation, there were allegations from numerous employees of excessive hours, improper rest provisions for crews and pay discrepancies.
It transported pilgrims from Mali to Mecca, and Malian refugees from Brazzaville.
The 747, C5-FBS, was abandoned at Plattsburgh International Airport and scrapped in place in 2004.
