Air ZaÌøre Vintage Logo Congolese Airline Hoody
Product Description
Air Zaïre was set up in 1961 under the name Air Congo by the Congolese government and SABENA. Because of technical difficulties experienced by Air Congo, a partnership was established with Pan American from which Air Congo acquired further DC-8s. In 1971 the Congo changed its name to Zaire and the national airline was renamed Air Zaire. In 1973, Air Zaire acquired its first widebody aircraft, a DC-10-30. The DC-3s, which were still in service, were replaced with the F-27 Friendship, of which eight were bought. Further fleet modernization saw the Boeing 737-200 enter service.
