Korongohas Airlines resumes domestic flight operation

On June 3 Korongohas the national airline of the Democratic Republic
of the Congo. based in tha natons capital Kinshasa isannounced the
suspension of all domestic Congolese flights with immediate effect.
The carrier said the move was as a result of an International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) directive declaring all Congolese
navigational aides to be non-compliant with international standards.

Today the airline issued this release:

Dear Partners,

We are delighted to announce the resumption of our domestic flights to
Kinshasa, Mbuji-Mayi and Lubumbashi this Saturday, June 7, 2014
according to the published flight schedule. This decision follows the
given guarantee of the RVA and a reinforcement of our operational
procedures in adherence and accordance with our partner Brussels
Airlines allowing us to operate in optimal safety conditions.

Connecting flights with Brussels Airlines for this Saturday, June 7,
2014 are confirmed.

As our flights to Johannesburg were not affected, we also uphold and
maintain our three weekly frequencies.

We thank you for your understanding and words of encouragement during
this particularly difficult week. We are pleased to welcome you back
on board our flights always with the same desire to allow you to
travel in complete security and comfort.

We take this opportunity to wish you a great holiday.

Regards,

Christophe Allard – CEO

It is understood that some other airlines in Congo ignored the ICAO
directive and continued to fly, a damning indictment of their
commitment to safe air operations while Korongo must be commended to
have had the courage and commitment to safety and suspended flights on
domestic routes.
