Rwanda aviation news – New schedule for ‘WB’ from 21st November due to be released

RWANDAIR ANNOUNCES SCHEDULE CHANGES AHEAD OF GETTING THEIR SECOND B737-800
Effective 21st of November will RwandAir launch a new flight schedule, which will reflect their newly acquired capabilities with having two long range B737-800 on their fleet by then. A second brand new -800 is due to be flown into Kigali on Tuesday 25th of October and will join her sistership on the routes to Johannesburg and Dubai. It is in fact on the Dubai route where a fourth weekly flight is due to be introduced every Monday due to growing demand, much of which has been generated from Mombasa, where the flight from Kigali stops over to exercise their traffic rights between Kenyas coastal city and the UAEs main aviation hub. While indications have been given already that this flight will gradually see more frequencies added until it operates daily, no dates for this have yet been released.
There is growing speculation now also that on arrival of the second new bird the RwandAir management will use the welcome party to announce their next destination, thought to be Lagos, which would join the airlines other West African destinations of Brazzaville and Libreville. It is also hoped that on that occasion the airline will volunteer more details on their planned fleet and destination expansion, which until now is shrouded in some secrecy, understandable though considering that the competition is keenly reading the latest breaking news right here to react as quickly as possible to RwandAirs objective to carve out a fair share of the traffic across and beyond the East African skies.
