Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2023
I would say 50 / 50. Both have premium eco. I know SkyTraxx has not good reputation among Avgeeks (but not outside Avgeeks community), but both airlines are 3 stars SkyTrax and RwandAir is ranked 90th and Brussels Airlines 100th, in the 2023 SkyTrax Ranking. https://www.worldairlineawards.com/worlds...

Re: D R Congo creates an airline with Air France-KLM: Congo Airways
Unfortunately, Congo is not alone in this case. And the Western carriers are probably less impacted than Africans carriers. The list of failed partnership between Africans airlines is quite huge if we look since 2000s and i have probably forgotten: Air Senegal International- Royal Air Maroc Royal Ai...
