Why should this airline be added?
A currently operating airline with historic aircraft types that can visit in-game airports, and which would put the Republic of the Congo on the map. It has a really cool livery showing the Congo River in the logo and using green as the colour to showcase the fact that the country has a lot of nature and thick green jungle. It historically flew to Paris and had plans to acquire a 787-8 on lease from PrivatAir to fly to China and the USA but it never materialised and the aircraft sat unused for several years at Victorville. The airline shut down operations in late 2016 due to financial operations but in March 2024 restarted with the 737 above on flights to neighbouring countries and within the Congo.
