Lufthansa to Launch New Frankfurt-Congo Service

Posted: June 24th, 2010

Starting Nov. 3, Lufthansa will begin service between Frankfurt and Pointe Noire in the Republic of Congo, with convenient connections from North American gateways. Pending regulatory approval, the airline will offer five flights weekly using a PrivatAir-operated Boeing 737-800. With a stopover in Libreville, the new route also introduces nonstop service to this Gabon port, which is currently serviced enroute to Accra, Ghana. Lufthansa currently serves West Africa with a total of 33 weekly connections to Abuja, Accra, Lagos, Libreville, Luanda, Malabo and Port Harcourt, with an additional 12 destinations operated by Swiss and Brussels Airlines.
