Headquarters

Moroni, Comoros

Comores Airlines, also known as Comoros Airlines, was a national carrier of the Union of the Comoros, a small island nation located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa. The airline operated regional and international routes connecting the Comoran archipelago with neighboring countries and destinations across the Indian Ocean region. The airline faced significant operational and financial challenges throughout its history, which were common among small island-nation carriers with limited passenger bases and infrastructure constraints. It operated under the IATA code KR and ICAO code CWK with the callsign CONTICOM. Comores Airlines experienced periods of suspension and restructuring, reflecting the broader difficulties of sustaining commercial aviation in a small developing island state. The Comoros has historically struggled to maintain a stable national airline, with several carrier incarnations attempting to serve the islands over the decades.

The airline's primary hub was Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni, the capital of the Comoros.

Fleet
