Angolan air charter operator Bestfly has withdrawn from membership in the African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA). In a statement issued on April 28, the company said it was “increasingly difficult to reconcile our values and direction with the current beliefs of the association.”

On May 1, Bestfly co-founder and executive director Alcinda Pereira issued a further statement saying that she is stepping down as AfBAA’s chairperson. She said the decision was due to a “series of challenges” she had faced over the previous 18 months.
