Starting June 27, FlyCongo (previously Hewa Bora) will introduce flights between Johannesburg and Kinshasa.

The new owners of Hewa Bora (EO, now called FlyCongo), have turned the company around offering a new, safer product to travel to the DRC. FlyCongo has resumed domestic flights in the DRC on March 19 this year, and is now starting operations to OR Tambo on June 27. FlyCongo serves Kinshasa, Lubumbashi , Kisangani, Goma, Mbandaka and Gemena in the DRC.

To improve safety and offer more consumer peace of mind, the FlyCongo aircraft are now maintained by one of the leading aviation maintenance organisations in South Africa.

FlyCongo will fly to Johannesburg via Lubumbashi on Wednesdays and Saturdays with return flights on Thursdays and Sundays.

FlyCongo (EO) has appointed Airline Control Systems (ACS) as its GSA in South Africa. Flight bookings can be made by contacting ACS on 011 234 7993 or via e-mail flycongo@airlinecs.com.  EO is also distributing via the GDS with ticketing on HR paper.
