The route opens a new entry point for international travel from Africa to China, Europe and the subcontinent of India, using Doha as a gateway, and helps to realise the economic and business potential in the DRC.

We will provide more details about the new service and images soon after the inaugural flight lands on Saturday. In the meanwhile if you'd like us to schedule any interviews or have any other requests please let us know by return e-mail.

Media based in the DRC are welcome to attend an event at the airport to mark the inaugural flight. If you'd like to do so, please advise and we'll send and official invitation.

Best,

William Smook
