At a function organised by the Serena Hotel Group in Sandton, Johannesburg on the 31st August 2012, Rwandair showcased Rwanda as a tourism destination for East African travel.
H.E Mr. Vincent Karega, the High Commissioner and Rwandair, worked together to make this themed event “Airline and Country” an outstanding success amongst all who attended.
This close cooperation furthered both economic diplomacy and Rwandair as the preferred airline for tourism, promoting Rwanda’s tourism sector and its economy.
More than 200 travel industry personnel who attended the event, were provided with Rwanda’s premier coffee brands such as Amaraba coffee and Kinunu coffee.
Attendees included members of major hotel groups, travel agencies, airlines and car rental companies.
Rwandair is receiving two new CRJ-900 aircraft, manufactured by bombardier – Canada’s leading aircraft manufacturer, known for its safety and performance characteristics.
This addition to the Rwandair fleet will permit additional destinations and more frequent flights to the existing Rwandair network.
“I commend Rwandair team led by Mrs Kanana Kau in South Africa for the demonstrated passion and the quality work they perform therefore giving Rwandair high visibility in South Africa” says the High Commissioner.
When commenting on the event, Rwandair CEO John Mirenge said “the addition of these new aircraft means additional destinations and convenience for the travellers who expect modern aircraft and the best service, making Rwandair the airline of choice for each and every travel occasion where Rwandair flies.”
