Article: “The airline Congo Airways suspends its activities: a worrying situation for the Congolese aviation sector”
For more than a month, the Congo Airways airline fleet has been grounded. This situation led to the temporary suspension of all its activities for reasons of reorganization and maintenance of its operational aircraft. This announcement was received with dismay by the population, who deplored the consequences on the Congolese aviation sector.
Faced with this critical situation, Senator Doctor Laddy Yangotikala decided to question the National Minister of Transport, communications and access, Marc Ekila Likombio, before the Congolese Senate. In a letter addressed to the presidency of the Upper House of Parliament, the senator expresses his concern about the deterioration of the situation.
He particularly highlights the consequences of the cessation of Congo Airways activities on connections between Congolese cities. Destinations such as Gemena, Mbandaka, Kindu and Kisangani are no longer served, which represents a real isolation for certain regions. The senator also questions the impact of this situation on the organization of the general elections planned in the country.
Senator Yangotikala’s concerns focus on four key issues. He wishes to know the current state of Congo Airways’ air fleet, the expected date of resumption of activities, the strategic plan to recover the company and government policy in the air transport sector.
This inquiry aims to highlight the problems encountered by Congo Airways and to obtain clear answers from the minister in charge. This situation highlights the challenges facing the Congolese aviation sector, and underlines the need for rapid and effective solutions to revive the company’s activities and ensure connectivity between the different regions of the country.
In conclusion, the suspension of Congo Airways’ activities constitutes a worrying situation for the Congolese aviation sector. The answers provided by the Minister of Transport will be essential to shed light on the measures taken and the company’s prospects for recovery. It is crucial to find solutions to guarantee efficient air connectivity and strengthen accessibility between the different regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
