History

Congo Express was the first domestic airline in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It commenced operations on 1 February 2010, operating seven days a week and on three routes flying out of Kinshasa, and multiple routes out of South Africa into Lubumbashi. The airline operations leveraged the South African platform, and under the managing director Didier Kindambu, flourished into a regional airline serving the business and diplomatic communities. The business community in DRC had access to Lubumbashi within a few hours; it previously took 3-4 days to reach this region on dilapidated roads.
