Introduction :
The Régie des Voies Aériennes (RVA) of the Democratic Republic of Congo has recently undergone a major change with the handover and takeover of the Board of Directors. This event marks a new stage for the future of Congolese aviation. In this article, we will revisit key changes in the new leadership team and highlight past accomplishments as well as future prospects for the RVA.
A new leadership within the RVA:
During the handover and takeover ceremony, new representatives were appointed to head the RVA. Alphonse Shungu Mahungu remains as Managing Director, with Mayaya Kawaasa as Deputy Managing Director. Tryphon Kin-Kiey Mulumba replaces Bienvenu Liyota Ndjoli as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Past achievements of the RVA:
Under the leadership of the outgoing Board of Directors, the RVA has made several achievements. First of all, the management of the company has been stabilized and the production tool of the RVA has been straightened out. In addition, work to modernize airport infrastructure and air navigation aid equipment has been undertaken in several cities in the DRC, including Kisangani, Bunia, Kananga, Mbuji-Mayi, Kin-Ndolo, Kolwezi, Kindu, Kalemie , Boende and Goma.
Despite the challenges encountered, the RVA has maintained acceptable operational capacities thanks to its competent technical staff. The company continued to ensure the take-off and landing of planes in its airport platforms as well as the guidance of foreign planes flying over the DRC.
Future prospects:
The new management team is committed to working in the interest of the RVA and its staff. Priority will be given to the company’s mission and to improving its performance. The new Chairman of the Board, Tryphon Kin-Kiey Mulumba, assures that the team will work closely with Managing Director Alphonse Shungu to achieve these objectives.
RVA’s development prospects are positive, given the company’s many strengths. The vast airspace, the qualified personnel and the acquisition of modern equipment dedicated to the safety of air navigation and aeronautical security are all factors favorable to the growth of the company.
Conclusion :
The handover and resumption of the Board of Directors of the RVA mark a new chapter for Congolese aviation. The new management team is determined to continue past achievements and meet future challenges. With a vision focused on improving performance and service, the RVA is ready to take flight into a bright future for aviation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
