Korongo Airlines (Lubumbashi) is planning to add a second B737-300 and an unspecified 50-seater turboprop to its fleet as part of growth plans, CEO Christophe Allard has disclosed. Speaking to the Congolese press, Mr Allard said that the added aircraft would replace two BAe 146-200s, that have subsequently been returned to their owners, that had not proven suitable to either the Congolese market or climate. Mr Allard bemoaned the Congo's poor aeronautical infrastructure which, he said, discouraged new, potentially lucrative, routes from being opened.
