_ Domestic network: Pointe-Noire and Ollombo.
_ Regional network: Kinshasa (river shuttle) Libreville Douala Cotonou Bamako Dakar.
_ International network: Paris Dubai Brussels (connecting from Paris).
The new Brazzaville-Dakar route via Bamako offers new opportunities to business and leisure travellers from Senegal and Mali who will be able to connect easily with the ECAir network via its Brazzaville hub in particular for destinations such as Paris Dubai Kinshasa and Cotonou…
"The new routes (Libreville Dakar Bamako) are the fulfilment of our efforts to connect the African economic capitals with each other and with the rest of the world" says Fatima Beyina-Moussa Managing Director of ECAir and President of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA). "We are going to continue our expansion with the opening of the next destinations (Yaounde Abidjan Bangui N'Djamena and Beirut). All of this is possible because with Maya-Maya we have one of the most modern airports in Africa with a high handling capacity. We are thus benefiting from the vision demonstrated by the President of the Republic His Excellency Denis Sassou Nguesso and his government when they made significant investments in the construction and modernisation of the country's airport infrastructure."
