According to the bastion of airline schedule changes, Aeroroutes, Emirates has scheduled its first-ever passenger service to Kinshasa. This is the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is Africa’s second-largest country by area.
Kinshasa has the continent’s third most populous metro area, with up to 17 million people. Unsurprisingly, when GDP is considered, the city is well down the pecking order.
Aeroroutes states that Emirates will serve Kinshasa’s N’djili International Airport (FIH) daily on the Boeing 777-300ER, although it is not clear yet exactly which configuration will be deployed. The 777-300ER is renowned for its huge freight capacity, which will be important for this route.
The first departure is set to leave DXB on February 3, 2027. As flights are currently not bookable, changes may materialize. The carrier disclosed its plan to serve FIH last year.
