[edit] History
Bravo Airlines was established in 2004 in Madrid, as a scheduled international and domestic passenger airline, registered in Spain.
In 2006, having in mind to expand their operations on the very promising, and recently deserted African market, Bravo Airlines became an airline group, and associated with several Congolese private investors, to create a new airline, named Bravo Air Congo. The new airline is registered in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and it began operating international and domestic services from the Congo in the summer of 2006, with the international network including Brussels, Madrid, Paris, Nairobi, Johannesburg, and other African cities.
The airline itself is based in Kinshasa, while Bravo Airlines, the corporate group, is based in Madrid.
