After a trip to South Africa last year, i was just thinking how underserved the entire region is. I realize that as is, few airlines elsewhere have comprehensive service to Africa. But no service at all from a US airline?
Did any US airlines ever serve points in Africa?

Probably a shortage of high-yield traffic. If it was there, you can bet that UA, AA and everyone else would be falling over themselves to fly to Africa.
