Rwanda, a small landlocked country in east-central Africa, has put its troubled past behind it and is now looking to enhance transport links in the region, helped by its national carrier, RwandAir.
The East African carrier recently introduced its first widebodied jet, an A330-200, into its fleet and a larger A330-300 is due to arrive to complement this. The aircraft will be used to launch flights into London from January 2017, serving Gatwick Airport in the UK capital.
Ghana is one of the fastest-growing African countries, both economically and in terms of tourism. It has a growing economy thanks to oil and cocoa, a growing touristic potential and a population that is known for its friendliness and hospitality. Its GDP continues to grow steadily, trade relations are booming and the number of foreign visitors and tourists increases year-on-year.
Rwanda’s national carrier says it will deploy its new A330s on medium-haul and long-haul routes from its home base at Kigali International Airport to destinations throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The aircraft will be configured in a three-class arrangement seating with 261 (A330-200) and 300 (A330-300) passengers and will be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 772B engines.
