RwandAir adds Djibouti and Dubai to cargo destinations

RwandAir Cargo launched new services to Dubai and Djibouti, both operated by its dedicated Boeing freighter. Yvonne Makolo, CEO of RwandAir said ; “The added destinations will support efficient and reliable connections for business and provide significant opportunities for enhanced trade between Rwanda, the UAE, Djibouti, and the rest of the country. As a landlocked nation, we recognize the importance of air freight in Rwanda’s economic growth across Africa and beyond.”                                 
                                      
The addition of Dubai World Central Airport (DWC) marks RwandAir’s second cargo destination in the United Arab Emirates after Sharjah. RwandAir Cargo will service Djibouti, connecting via Dubai World Central and Sharjah. Flights will operate twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays, respectively.

                                      
Bosco Gakwaya, Director of RwandAir Cargo Services said; “Our expansion to Dubai and Djibouti strengthens RwandAir Cargo’s role as a key trade facilitator on the African continent and is well aligned with the goals of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AFCFTA), transforming Kigali into a regional cargo hub.”
