Passenger operators have now dwindled to the point that just KLM are left. World Airways operate a lot of ad hoc charters and military charters as well as providing an aircraft for Sonair for the Houston-Luanda/Malabo oil flights.

Flight schedules shown use the 3 letter airport codes. After the flight number are days of operation ; 1 = Mondays, 2 = Tuesdays and so on, DX = Operates daily except, then the day number so DX7 means operates daily except Sundays, DX14 = operates daily except Mondays and Thursdays.
