Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2023

Big upgrade on the Kigali Nairobi routewith Kenya Airways today. 3 flights per day but the afternoon flight operated by B787-8 :shock:. It never flies to East Africa (only training flights during the first deliveries in 2014), only to Johannesburg, Port Louis, Cape Town and Lagos in Africa. There wa...

Re: Air Transport in Africa Outlook

Malawi Airlines has taken delivery of a B737-700 ex Asky. Which marks the return of the 737-700 to the fleet. The company still has Nampula, Kigali in its sights. It has just announced flights to Entebbe (Uganda). In my opinion there is a strong chance that it will be a double touch with Kigali. Wit...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2023

I made a mistake it's not 6 th B737-800, but the 5 B737-800 pax plus one B737-800F. Thus 6 B737NG (1 700 and 5 800) + 1 B737-800F
