KlasJet is to lease one 737 to Congo Airways on a six-month contract from November until the end of April of next year.
Congo Airways previously partnered with KlasJet for a four-month contract in 2023. The airline had operated two Airbus A320s, which have remained grounded for engine maintenance.
"We are pleased to have our 737 used to restore the DRC flag carrier to operational status," said Augustinas Riskus, deputy chief commercial officer at KlasJet. “The six-month deployment of the aircraft is the ideal length for an ACMI contract and serves as a perfect tool for the airline's recovery.”
The 737 involved in this partnership will operate domestic flights within Congo, based at Kinshasa Ndjili International Airport.
