Viscounts in Kinshasa
An easy question for all of you guys in Kinshasa
There is a small outfit called Global Airways which operates a Viscount (V806, 3D-JAP) out of Ndjili. They received second Viscount (V802, 3D-PFI) last Friday. Anybody knows what these guys are doing? They were planning do open scheduled flights in February, have they done it by now? Do they fly lots or little? Are their pilots locals or expats? Are they actually paid
???
Any info would be useful...

Viscounts parked Kinshasa
2 Viscounts you enquired about are indeed parked near maintenance hangars at FZAA.
Have not observed flights , so cannot comment at all
Situation in DRC extremely unstable now.
Good luck

You are perfectly right, PFI does belong to Transtel. However this time it seems that the airplane is going to be either dry leased or simply sold to the Global guys in Kin. I met them about three months ago, and I am not quite sure whether they are serious people or not... If their airplanes are finally flying, at least it would mean something...

Thanx mate, I also read your thread related to the recent events in Kin.
Tell me if you come across more info regarding these guys!
