Kenya Airways Delivers First E190 Jet To Congo Airways

Kenya Airways (KQ) launched a cargo partnership with Congo Airways (8Z) and delivered the first of two Embraer E190 jets to Congo Airways, on September 15, 2021 – under a lease agreement to boost domestic operations and flight frequencies in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

This is an important step in enhancing cooperation to increase air connectivity and offer greater passenger and cargo options between the two countries. The timing of this agreement is correct, considering the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aviation industry, as it will increase the utilisation of our aircraft. -Allan Kilavuka, KQ Group MD and CEO.
