TEL AVIV SET TO JOIN RWANDAIR’S GROWING NETWORK
(Posted 28th May 2019)
RwandAir just announced that it will commence direct flights to Tel Aviv, the economic and technology hub of Israel, from Kigali starting from 25th of June 2019.
RwandAir will seamlessly connect tourists and business travelers between Tel Aviv and its network three times a week.
This new route will be operated on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays by a Boeing 737-800NG offering 16 seats in business class and 138 seats in economy class.
“Adding Tel Aviv to our network is part of our long term plan to link Rwanda to the rest of the world. Tel Aviv is one of the world’s leading tech hubs and we look forward to flying business travelers as well as pilgrims visiting the Holy Land, to and from our network on this new route. It will also be a great opportunity to ease travel and strengthen diplomatic ties between the two countries” said Yvonne Manzi Makolo, RwandAir’s CEO.
Tickets are now available for sale through RwandAir website, sales offices and travel agencies. Tel Aviv will be the 29 th destination of RwandAir and its second destination in the Middle East after Dubai.
Notably has RwandAir secured all overflight rights for the service unlike regional rival Kenya Airways which failed to get approval from Sudanese authorities to fly through their airspace while heading to Israel.
