Point Air was a French airline company operating a McDonnell Douglas DC8-63 on a route from Marseille and Mulhouse/Bale to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Point Air was famous for its low prices, before the age of low-cost airlines.
The airline started operations in 1980. Built on the remains of the French Antillan SATT, the Swiss-registered Point Air went into a politically enforced bankruptcy in 1988.

“It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed
Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,
That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunder’s rattapallax....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
