Pointe Noire (Congo) gets better connections

LUFTHANSA is to introduce on 3 November a five times a week flight to Pointe Noire, the principal port in the Republic of the Congo (pending regulatory approval).  Operated by a Boeing 737-800 from PrivatAir, flights to the Congolese city include a stopover in Libreville (Gabon).  Pointe Noire is home to nearly 700,000 of the country's total population of around 4m people.  The oil industry, a key factor in the economy of the West African Republic, accounts for about 90% of export earnings.  The aircraft will operate with a two-class layout including fully flat seats in Business Class. www.lufthansa.com
