RwandAir is continuing its fleet expansion with the delivery of its seventh Boeing 737 aircraft.
The Boeing 737-800, registered 9XR-WY, will be based at the carrier’s Kigali hub, enabling the airline to further expand its regional operations.
The aircraft is fitted with 12 seats in Business Class and 144 seats in Economy Class.
RwandAir now has a fleet of 14 aircraft, consisting of three A330s, seven 737s and four regional aircraft.
“The introduction of our seventh Boeing aircraft is another major milestone for us, and I would like to thank everyone who has helped make this possible,” says Yvonne Makolo, RwandAir CEO. “We have been expanding our fleet over the past year and look forward to accelerating this growth to offer customers even better service and connectivity across Africa and beyond.”
Last November, the Rwandan airline also took delivery of its first dedicated freighter aircraft, a Boeing 737-800SF, as the carrier highlighted the ever-increasing importance of cargo in Rwanda.
