RwandAir Expands Fleet

RwandAir has welcomed two new Boeing 737-800s, expanding their fleet. The Boeing 787-800s will primarily operate on short- and medium-haul routes, carrying 174 passengers. With one already in use, this development boosts the airline’s capacity and strengthens operations.

A wide-body Airbus A330-200 is expected to be delivered in Q4 of this year alongside the return of some newly serviced aircraft. These additions will further increase capacity with a focus on long-haul flights, demonstrating RwandAir’s active efforts to modernise their fleet and grow their global network. Alongside connecting Africa to the rest of the world, the expansion of RwandAir’s fleet will also improve customer experience with the reduction of delays and cancellations.

Yvonne Makolo – Chief Executive Officer at RwandAir, said:

“RwandAir is pleased to welcome our newly serviced aircraft back into operation. Together with the arrival of these new aircraft, the strengthened fleet will enable RwandAir to improve reliability, strengthen our schedules, and deliver an even better travel experience to all our passengers.”
