Thank you for your news about RwandAir, but the topic is about Turkish Airlines flying to Kigali ;-) No problem ;) With the opening of flights, TK will bring more pax from Asia, where the demand to Rwanda is becoming stronger (Japan, India, South Korea and Singapore). Thanks to the Transfers at Ist...

I m not very surprised by the news, the Nigerian Civil Aviation has already grounded several times Arik Air for non payment. They canceled the order of 5 B777-300ERs, this year. They are often in mate for pay date.

Great news for Rwanda. THY will also be the big brother for Rwandair and show them the way to become a successful airline. Yes, RwandAir is becoming a successful airline, they are now a network carrier and uses Kigali as a hub. They will take delivery of two B737-800s. They will use it on lucrative...

Thabks Hakan, Great news. Egyptair planned to fly to Rwanda, this summer, but due to Arab unrest, flight could be launch not before 2012. SAA has announced that they will resume flights to Kigali (5 flights a week). Star Alliance airlines are rushing to Rwanda. I read that, from Turkish CAA : After ...

Hi I think it's a april fool :lol: . But, in a near future they could be start flights to Europe, to feed their hub.

Ok thanx Hakan.

Hi

Is Turkish has the plan to add new routes into Africa ? I heard they want to fly to Kinshasa and Abuja. I think Luanda, Lusaka, Douala or Kigali could be served by TK.

Surprisingly, Rwandair does not fly to Kinshasa! They planned. They sent a team, one year ago to get traffic rights. Even on the RwandAir website and in the Inflight Magazine, Kinshasa was a future destination. I think that BZV is more safe than FIH, and Kagame has strong ties with the Congo Brazza.

Note that ET operates a 5 times weekly night flights with Dash Q400 (connecting with the LH flight from FRA). SAA has also code share agreement in this route.

About AF flights to FDF and PTP, it seems that AF want to transfert all flights from ORY to CDG.
