AB Aviation was a private regional airline and the largest in the Comoros headquartered and based at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport.




History



AB Aviation was founded in 2011 with its main purpose being to fill in the gap left by Air Service Comores and Comores Aviation, with both having ceased operations.
In September 2016, the National Civil Aviation and Meteorological Agency of Comoros (ANACM) revoked the airworthiness of AB Aviation's Boeing 737, citing problems regarding the aircraft's hydraulic systems within its shock absorbers. The Boeing 737 was sent to South Africa to judge whether the aircraft was airworthy. In November, one of the airline's Embraer aircraft was grounded for 15 days.
On 19 March 2022, the Comorian Civil Aviation revoked the air operator's certificate of AB Aviation, halting all operations.
