Scibe Airlift

Scibe Airlift was an airline from Zaire (today known as Democratic Republic of the Congo), with its base at N'Djili Airport, Kinshasa.

[3] The airline started activities in November 1976 as SBZ Cargo with a single Vickers Viscount.

In the early 1990s Scibe Airlift was at its height, serving a multitude of destinations and leasing its aircraft out to European airlines.

The political instability of the country and the poor financial management of the company brought it to an end.

Scibe Airlift ceased its operations on 29 September 1998 when its last aircraft was stored at London Southend Airport.
