''Flight International''. 23–29 March 2004. (83 ). "Avenue Kabambare, n 1928, Barumbu, Democratic Republic of Congo"〕〔"(Information )." Hewa Bora Airways. Retrieved on 9 September 2010. "1) KINSHASA Direction Générale Adresse : 1928, Av. Kabambare / Barumbu" "Agence ville (+Direction Commerciale et Direction Marketing) Adresse : 129, Boulevard du 30 juin ."〕 It was one of Congo's largest airlines and operated regional and domestic services. Its main base was N'djili Airport. "''Hewa bora''" is Swahili for "fresh air". Hewa Bora Airways had 1,100 employees in March 2007.〔 Operations were suspended after the 2011 crash of Hewa Bora Airways Flight 952, and the airline is now defunct. The remains of the business were taken over by a new airline, FlyCongo, which in turn merged with the Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation only six months after it was started up〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17528908〕 == History == The airline was established and started operations in 1994 with the joining together of Zaire Airlines, Zaire Express, and Congo Airlines. On 1 November 2007, HBA (51%) and Brussels Airlines subsidiary Pan African Airlines (49%) announced a new domestic partnership to be called AirDC, to operate BAe 146-200 and Boeing 737 aircraft, principally to Lubumbashi, Mbuji-Mayi, Brazzaville, and Douala.〔(Radio Okapi (1 November 2007) )〕 This project was cancelled because of disagreements between Brussels Airlines and Hewa Bora. On 15 December 2009, Brussels Airlines announced they are working on a new airline in the Congo. The working name of the project is Korongo; it will be launched without Hewa Bora and start operations somewhere in 2010. On the 24 June 2009, the new website of Hewa Bora Airways went online, after not having been updated since 2005. On 16 July 2011, the airline's Air Operator's Certificate was suspended, following the accident that befell Flight 952 on 8 July 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hewa Bora Airways」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
