Maiden’s Dickinson All Up In Djibouti

Djibouti (ji-BOO-tee) is a small nation located in the horn of Africa, bordered by Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Its strategic location allows it to control much of the trade on the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. And now, it’s officially going to rock your panties to the back of this auditorium.

Cardiff Aviation, the Wales-based service facility run by Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Air Djibouti, and will create a national carrier for the country.

According to Aboubaker Omar Hadi, chairman of Air Djibouti:

“Cardiff Aviation’s unique blend of experience, innovative approach and quality facilities and relationship makes it the perfect support partner for developing a national carrier for our nation. We are looking forward to seeing the outcome of this agreement boost Djibouti’s international appeal and promote economic growth.”

There you go.

You can read more about the deal here. It’s a very technical business agreement regarding strategic trade location, and therefore some dry-ass reading. But it’s good to know that Bruce Dickinson has Djibouti in mind, and that Djibouti will get crammed full of all of Dickinson’s hard work.

Okay, we’re done. No, wait:

SCREAM FOR ME, DJIBOUTI!
