The Republic of Congo to open its air borders on Monday August 24
International flights should resume in the Republic of Congo on Monday, August 24. The Minister of Communication and Media, Thierry Lézin Moungalla, let it be known at the end of the 8th meeting of the National Coordination for the Management of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, reports Les Échos du Congo-Brazzaville. On the other hand, land, river and sea borders will remain closed, with the exception of course of freight transport.
For each traveler, a mandatory PCR test will be performed at the airport, upon arrival of international flights. The recommended price is set at 20,000 CFA francs, or thirty euros (30 €) or forty dollars (40 US $).
This reopening of the borders should obviously allow Trans Air Congo (Tac) to relaunch its routes to Douala in Cameroon, Cotonou in Benin, and Libreville in Gabon. The country's main active airline resumed its domestic flights on June 23, with the reopening of its Pointe Noire - Brazzaville line. The private operator suspended its operations on March 21, when the country's air, sea and land borders were closed, in response to Covid-19.
The Congowill also see the return of foreign companies, including Ethiopian Airlines, Asky, Afrijet, Ceiba, Air Côte d'Ivoire, Mauritania Airlines, Kenya Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Rwandair, TAAG-Linhas Aéreas de Angola, or Air France and Turkish Airlines.
