Hewa Bora Airways is an airline based in Barumbu, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is one of Congo's largest airlines and operates regional and domestic services. Its main base is Kinshasa International Airport. "Hewa Bora" is Swahili for "Fresh Air"

The airline was established and started operations in 1994 with the joining together of Zaire Airlines, Zaire Express and Congo Airlines. It has 1,100 employees (at March 2007).

On November 1, 2007 HBA (51%) and Brussels Airlines subsidiary Pan African Airlines (49%) announced a new domestic partnership to be called AirDC, to operate BAe 146-200 and Boeing 737 aircraft, principally to Lubumbashi, Mbuji-Mayi, Brazzaville and Douala.

Blacklist

The entire Hewa Bora Airways fleet is blacklisted in European airspace. The Lockheed TriStar 500 and the Boeing 767-200ER were the last planes accepted in Europe before new noise regulations and storage of the 767 definitively banned the airline. Hewa Bora Airways was the last airline that was allowed to operate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo into Europe.
