About

Congo Airways is the successor airline to the former national carrier of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, LAC - Lignes Aériennes Congolaises.

Air France Consulting assisted with preparations.

Congo Airways suspended operations effective 11-Sep-2023. The carrier stated the suspension will allow it to improve operational efficiency and safety guarantees in compliance with IATA standards. The carrier plans to resume operations shortly.
