Korongo Airlines sprl (after the Swahili term for large migrating birds) was an airline from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), headquartered in Lubumbashi.[1] It was founded on behalf of Brussels Airlines and other Belgian investors in 2009, and operated scheduled regional flights from its base at Lubumbashi International Airport.
On 4 September 2015, Korongo Airlines ceased all operations[2] because it did not have enough reservations (despite a 70% load factor), and because of damage caused to the only airplane in the fleet a week earlier.
