Congo Airways to reduce salaries of its employees by 17%

Share

National airline Congo Airways has decided to reduce the salaries of all its employees by 17%. In an internal memo sent on January 25 the management of Congo Airways justifies this measure because the company currently faces cash-flow difficulties.

Désiré Balazire, the general director of Congo Airways specifies that this decision aims to reduce operation costs and to keep employment and most important: keeping the company alive. The national airline has four aircraft: 2 Dash 8-400 and 2 Airbus A320.

This measure could be lifted when the company’s situation is flourishing again.

About 30 employees were dismissed in September 2016, keeping nearly 400 employees across the country. A few months ago Désiré Balazire explained that his company only aims to maintain a staff of two hundred and fifty agents.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
