Weasua Air Transport was a Liberian airline operating from 1993-2006.
Weasua Air Transport was founded in 1993 during the Liberian civil war. The airline operated 3 Yak-40s until an attack on Spriggs Payne Airport in April 1996.[1] One of the aircraft had its tail blown off and the other was damaged in a fire. The last aircraft operated charters between Freetown and Monrovia.[1] The airline also operated An-24s, De Havilland DHC-5 Buffalos and smaller American and Soviet types.[2] Some reports about the airline claimed that it operated illegally as a General Sales Agent for Air France, KLM and Kenya Airways in complete contravention of the 'Liberianization Policy' as well as Part 14 of the Liberia Civil Aviation Authority Regulations.[3] One of Wesua's Yak-40s can be found abandoned at Roberts Field.[4]
