Ecuato Guineana de Aviación (EGA) was Equatorial Guinea's national airline,[1] although it now appears to be defunct. Established in 1986,[1] the carrier operated passenger and cargo services in West Africa from its main base in Malabo International Airport.
Like all other airlines having an air operator's certificate issued in Equatorial Guinea, Ecuato Guineana was banned from operating within the European Union[2] in 2006, although it was removed from the list in 2007 because it no longer had an air operator's certificate. [3]
