737 fleet at RwandAir : 2 B737-800s with the Sky Interrior and 2 B737-700s leased from ILFC ex Air Berlin delivered in 2007

MRO will now perform by Ethiopian Airlines, the current RwandAir chairman is the former Ethiopian Airlines CEO, Girma Wake. The airline is currently working to get IOSA certification (Howard Consultants - aviation consultants, aviation safety management systems, IOSA training, ISAGO training) this year and also to get ETOPS to fly to Mumbai, accoding to Commercial Director, Bert Van Der Stege, but i don't know the current status about the ETOPS.

This year RwandAir will take delivery of a brand new Q400NG and will add 2 B787s by late 2014, but it seems it will be in 2015. 2 formers RAM B787 LN17 / LN19. They have an option for two CRJ-900NGs but they eye C-Series.


About destinations, this year the airline wants to fly to Abidjan, Douala, Khartoum, Lusaka, Harare and Mumbai (dependings ETOPS certification). For 2015, they eye China (Guangzhou) and Europe (either Brussels, London, Amsterdam or Frankfurt).

Currently they fly to Bujumbura, Kilimanjaro, Dar Es Salaam, Juba, Lagos, Accra, Libreville, Nairobi, Brazzaville, Mombasa, Kamembe, Entebbe, Johannesburg and Dubai.

Now I know they have African captains and SFO's but Rwandan specifically... No idea.
And they had the first Rwandan captain last month, rated on B737NG.
