RwandAir commences flights to Tel Aviv
The maiden direct flight of national carrier RwandAir from Kigali to Tel Aviv, Israel’s economic and technology hub, took off on Monday night.
Tel Aviv will be the airline’s 29th destination overall, and second in the Middle East, after United Arab Emirates.
Rwandair will fly to Tel Aviv three times a week from Kigali and the new route will be operated on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays by Boeing 737-800NG.
It will be offering 16 seats in business class and 138 seats in economy class, according to the airline’s officials.
The development will, among other things, strengthen ties between the two friendly nations as well as boost business.
Yvonne Manzi Makolo, RwandAir’s chief executive, said that adding Tel Aviv to the airline’s network is part of their long-term plan to link Rwanda to the rest of the world.
