PNR Pointe-Noire

How deep the PNR board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from PNR. This reads the same 6 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 5of the 6 destinations are flown by one airline
• 4destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 50%of the destinations name Afrijet, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at PNR

Eleven airlines appear on the PNR board and they do not hold it evenly. Afrijet is on 3 of the 6 destinations, 50 per cent of them, and on 2 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 7.3 of the 9.3 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Air Cote D'Ivoire on 1 destinations. 10 of the 11 airlines at PNR appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 3 of the 6 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a PNR sector is usually another Afrijet aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at PNR than the destination count does.

How much of the PNR board is daily

Of the 6 destinations, 2 are flown at least once a day and 4 are not, 1 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the PNR board is flown 4 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: PNR to Kinshasa (FIH) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 9.2 of the 9.3 departures a day, 98.5 per cent of the whole board. On that arithmetic PNR is five sectors and a short tail, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests and a hand carry that is not going to one of those five is planned around a single departure time.

The four destinations out of PNR where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The clock at PNR

PNR keeps Africa/Brazzaville time, three hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 06:00 at PNR, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for six hours. A customs question raised in the last three hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at PNR until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at PNR

1 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from PNR that lands inside it leaves around 15:12, on a modelled block of 7h 48m. Those one departure times out of PNR are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where PNR turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Republic of the Congo country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with PNR already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 6 destinations above.
