Air Djibouti (Red Sea Airlines) was an airline based in Djibouti and was the national carrier of the Republic of Djibouti. The airline was formed in July 1971 when Air Somalia (founded in 1962 by Air France and Les Messageries Maritimes) took over the previous Air Djibouti (formed in 1963). Shareholding was reorganised following independence in June 1973. The airline was reorganised in 1997 as Air Djibouti (Red Sea Airlines).
