Turkish Airlines to start Cotonou 4 weekly service from 23JUN14; 3 weekly Conakry / Bamako operation from 30JUN14

I don't think that EK was serving any of the markets you mention. It's just not viable, even if EK achieves lower seat-mile cost, it takes twice as many seat-miles to get there through DXB. It's also not attractive from a pax perspective. Agree like Kenya Airways or Ethiopian serving West Africa. T...

I reckon FNA will be axed as well. AF will add a 3rd weekly service to FNA. Also note that ROB is connected with the US by Delta (in combination with Accra) so that already reduces the number of transfer pax for AF through CDG. Kenya Airways provides 3 flights a week from Nairobi and the airline pr...

Ethiopian Airlines, the fastest growing and most profitable airline in Africa, is pleased to announce that it has finalized preparations to start four weekly flights to Vienna, Austria starting 2 June 2014. Vienna is the political capital and the economic hub of Austria. The city is a major diploma...

The airline wants to attract more passengers from South Kivu, by providing connections with RwandAir via Kigali, also increase the number of pax on its Brussels Kigali route. From 3 March 2014, RwandAir will use a brand new Q400NG on the domestic service, 67 seats in a two class configuration Subjec...

No B787 until 2017, for RwandAir. Brand new B787 ?? http://www.businessweek.com/news/2014-02-24/boeing-said-to-struggle-with-sales-of-1-dot-1-billion-of-early-787s I know they were also in talk with Airbus 4 years ago, they were interested by the A320 / A330 and even ATR. But talks with Airbus ATR h...

Currently TK serves Kigali / Entebbe daily with a mix of B737-800 / 900ER. At the begining TK served Dar Es Salaam, Nairobi and Entebbe with B737-800s and sometimes A330s. But flights were not daily (3 times a week).

Brussels Airlines will add a 5th weekly service to Kigali, which begins on 21 March 2014 (last year it began in May. And the 5 weekly service will be now operated all year round.

On amadeus i can see avaibilites on SN465 Kigali Brussels, but i can't find the flight BRU-KGL on Brussels airport website

Edit : i have just found it on SN.com

Thanks you

Hi

Yesterday SN canceled flight to Bujumbura and Nairobi and today flight to Kigali will take off at 14 25 (4h of delays). It seems that most of SN long haul flights have huge delays.

Any infos ? thanks

According to Amadeus Qatar will add 3 more weekly to Kigali, from 01 April 2014. There will be 10 flights a week. Timetables on Amadeus can't be read after 25 October 2014, so i don'tk know if it will be a increase during high season.

Nice to see TK drop some routes for a change, they have stopped serving cargo only stations Hanoi and Luton. Same thing for Kigali, another short lived cargo route after Emirates SkyCargo. Always the same problems, high volume to Rwanda but low volume from Rwanda, and very expensive taxes at the ai...

Thx Hakan I don't know about Buenos Aires, but GRU for sure is very slot restricted and many airlines have difficulties to get the slots they want (both timings and frequency). But is it only slot related or also bilateral related (something which is I can think of that could be the case with Argent...

Turkish Airlines to establish South American hub in Uruguay? 28NOV2013 Turkish Airlines (TK, Istanbul Atatürk) is in talks with Uruguayan authorities who are keen on the Star Alliance member establishing a regional South American hub out of Montevideo. Uruguay's El Diario newswire says the country's...

In April 2013 rumors said that China Communications construction company won the tender. But it was false. Aeroport de Lyon was also interested, but according to me they think that current project is too big for Rwanda. They are a little bit right, some projects such as new airports at Dakar or Luan...

Anyone know why they isn't cargo service between Rwanda and Belgium ?? I know that Ehiopian did a Liege Bujumbura Kigali Addis Ababa in 2011, but flights ceased quickly. Taxes at Kigali are high and airlines such as EmiratesSkycargo has dropped their service. But however it's quite strange to have n...

Like SN pulling back from its Ethiopian codeshare because it was losing more than it won.

Yes and that's porbably the reason why SN /TK and TK / LH don't have a code share agreement in Africa.

Ethiopian starts service to Singapore, from 03 December 2013. Morover, Singapore Airlines and Ethiopian Airlines will provide more code share flights. Australia for Ethiopian : Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Africa for Singapore : Accra, Dar Es Salaam, Entebbe, Kigalii, Mombasa Nai...

and AC are not even code sharing on the CDG-BRU leg. Only UA does.

AC provides only code sharing between CDG and Washington, Chicago,and Newark. You have to add the daily service to Toronto and Montreal by AC. It's probably enough, but i m not an expert
