Air Congo S.A. is the flag carrier airline of the Democratic Republic of the Congo launched on 1 December 2024, with its hub at N'djili Airport in Kinshasa. The airline announced it would commence operations by serving domestic destinations. The inaugural flight occurred on 9 December 2024 from N'djili Airport to Lubumbashi International Airport by the Boeing 737-800 9S-AOA leased from Ethiopian Airlines. As with all other airlines based in the DRC the airline is banned from EU airspace. Air Congo also plans to operate into the Middle East and Europe albeit it's unlikely Air Congo will fly to the EU.
