Within
the scope of expanding its network, Sunday, 22 March 2015 will see
ECAir, Equatorial Congo Airlines, the national airline of the Republic
of the Congo, inaugurate its new Brazzaville-Dakar via Bamako route.
Bamako
(Republic of Mali) and Dakar (Republic of Senegal) are two major West
African capital cities. This route, which will run three times a week
(Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday departing from Brazzaville; Wednesday,
Friday and Monday departing from Dakar or Bamako) was established in
response to a growing demand among our passengers.
This
new route represents a crucial and strategic step in our company's
expansion process, and it is hoped it will allow us to strengthen the
number of exchanges and level of cooperation between Congo, Mali and
Senegal, and with the rest of West Africa in general.
Flights
to Bamako and Dakar will be operated by Boeing 757-200 and will have a
capacity of 148 seats (16 in Business Class and 132 in Economy) until 1
June, then by Boeing 737-700 (12 seats in Business Class and 112 seats
in Economy). These two new destinations will round off the service
offering of Equatorial Congo Airlines, which already provides services
to and from Cotonou (Benin), Douala (Cameroon), Libreville (Gabon) and
Kinshasa (DRC) as part of its regional network.
"The
inauguration of these two new flight routes to Bamako and Dakar, just a
few weeks after the inauguration of Libreville as a destination and the
establishment of a daily flight between Brazzaville/Paris and
Brazzaville/Dubai, will see us strengthen our presence on the continent.
This year, within the scope of expanding our network and our fleet, we
are aiming to transform Maya-Maya Airport into a real Central African
hub by offering our passengers a number of rotations and a first-class
service," declared Fatima Beyina-Moussa, Managing Director of Equatorial
Congo Airlines.
Take advantage of the low prices being offered by ECAir.
