Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2025


Yes probably the arrival of the 2 B737-800s will lead the retirement of the CRJs. Like the Q400 which will leave the fleet, the CRJ is no longer in production and it's getting harder to get aircraft aircraft spare parts (post covid doesn't help)


The second B737-800 is being delivered. The CRJs ...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2025


Yes in deed and the two CRJs are currently grounded.

The next B737-800 also an ex Malaysia Airlines should arrive in Oct25. No infos about the 4th A330 which was supposed to arrive this month.


Given that they had planned to retire them this year, I suppose it’s safe to say the CRJs won’t be ...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2025

The new B737-8 9XR-WT entered service today, operating its first flight to Entebbe. The airline is still facing an aircraft shortage, especially since the other B737-8 9XR-WQ is still at Doha Airport, possibly due to a technical issue earlier this month.

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2025

My assumption is that 9XR-WX was originally scheduled to return from maintenance earlier, and then 9XR-WP was scheduled to operate the charter flights. That’s likely why they wet-leased the Hi Fly A330. However, the maintenance on 9XR-WX might have took longer than expected, which caused disruptions ...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2025

It seems that RwandAir has been operating charter flights from Cotonou to Medina using their A330-300, likely for travelers going on pilgrimage. It's a good idea that they are tapping into that market.

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2024



RwandAir continues to clean up its network. After closing routes** during covid, closed its routes to Mumbai. Cape Town has joined the list. Indeed, from October 27, 2024, the Kigali Cape Town line via Harare will close. No information on the reasons. But we can estimate that the line was not ...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2024





Do you have any information about their current fleet plan? It seems that one 737 (9XR-WF) has been stored since mid-January, and while their Dash 8s are not all out of service, it’s rare to find both in service at the same time. Usually, only one is in service at a time.

They’ve been ...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2024


RwandAir plans return to daily service on its Kigali Lagos route from October 2024. Probably related to the fact that RwandAir was able to recover part of the funds blocked in Nigeria.
