Hassi Messaoud served In Amenas which was BPs big investment.

I believe for some time now JetAir have served Hassi Messaoud. I used to fly JetAir (Astraeus) in & out of Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea. Was a cracking service. Got checked in at LGW by the same people each time. Everybody on the flight had lounge access, check in staff flew down with you. Non stop flight. Full service on board. Even had Bruce Dickinson (of Iron Maiden fame) fly us a few times. Oilfield air services can be funny old affairs!
