Air Zaire

Air Zaire logoAfter the Republic of the Congo gained independence fromAir Congo logo Belgium in 1960, the Belgian national airline] Sabena continued to operate routes in the country. Plans for the formation of a Congolese airline were delayed due to the Congo Crisis; however, in January 1961 a protocol was signed with Sabena for the creation of a limited liability company to be named Air Congo. On 1961 the company was formed, and incorporated in June with Sabena providing technical assistance and personnel.
In 1971 the country changed its name from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the Republic of Zaire, and Air Congo changed its name to Air Zaïre. The airline was declared bankrupt in 1995 by a Brussels court. After the collapse of Air Zaïre, Sabena entered into a partnership with the Zairean government to create a new airline to be called New Air Zaïre. The new airline would operate domestic services, whilst Sabena would utilise its traffic rights and operate international flights. The airline was reorganised into Lignes Aériennes Congolaises, which began flights in 1997.
