Bravo Airlines was a Spanish airline based in Madrid .
history
The company was founded in 2004 and began flight operations in May 2006. The main goal was to open connections between Europe and Africa and to fly to regional destinations in Africa with the subsidiary Bravo Air Congo . Bravo Airlines employed 400 people. After the subsidiary went bankrupt in late 2007, Bravo Airlines concentrated on wet leasing its Boeing 767-200 to other airlines. However, this machine was returned to the owner ILFC on October 30, 2008 , so that Bravo Airlines has not owned an aircraft since then and has therefore ceased operations.
Destinations
It served the African continent from Brussels and Madrid (via Paris ) . The destinations in Africa were predominantly in the southwest (from Angola to Benin ), as well as the airports Johannesburg (JNB) in the south and Nairobi (NBO) in the east. However, most of the flights were to the Democratic Republic of the Congo . At the beginning of 2008, the company ended its own flight operations and instead leased the only Boeing 767-200 to other airlines.
