AirDC Bae146 returning from a testflight at Brussels in 2008.
Brussels Airlines began trying to set up a regional airline in DR Congo in 2007. DR Congo used to be Belgian Congo and has strong business and political ties with Belgium. In that year, airDC was founded as a joint venture with Hewa Bora Airways, and the launch of commercial regional flights from Kinshasa-N’djili Airport using a fleet of BAe 146-200s handed over by Brussels Airlines was planned for early 2008.
After an accident with a Hewa Bora flight and the concerns about safety in DR Congo, this project was cancelled before flights were begun.
Later Brussels Airlines did start an airline in DR Congo named Korongo Air.
