Republic of Congo's Africa Airlines commences flight ops

Africa Airlines began scheduled flight operations on Saturday, August 21, shortly after having secured its AOC from the Republic of Congo's civil aviation regulator. Brazzaville's Maya Maya Airport said in a statement the start-up's service currently entails multiple daily rotations between the Republic of Congo's two main cities, Brazzaville (its hub) and Pointe Noire. Operations are on-board B737-300 TN-AKC, formerly TL-TSM with defunct Central Africa-based Karinou Airlines, which was itself once named Africa Airlines. Congolese government records show Africa Airlines was approved as a passenger and cargo carrier back in April 2019.<br/>
