At the inauguration of passenger services, Ernest Koroma, President of Sierra Leone, officially designated Fly 6ix as the national carrier of Sierra Leone. Fly 6ix served four West African cities with a single Embraer 135 aircraft. The airline has ceased operating. Fly6ix Limited resolved 3 December 2012 to be wound up voluntarily.
