RwandAir Chief Executive Officer, John Mirenge, says the new plane will concentrate on regional routes.
“We want to increase our destinations and by the end of this year we shall be operating in South Sudan, Cameroon, Zambia and Zanzibar,” he said.
in the next six years, the National Carrier targets to expand its fleet to 18 planes.
Minister of Infrastructure, Albert Nsengiyumva says, “The purpose of purchasing more planes is also to attract other airline companies.
Besides, the number of passengers coming to Rwanda is increasing because of different destinations that RwandAir makes.”
