Qatar Airways continues Africa expansion drive launching flights to Rwanda

3/26/2012 10:27:50 AM

Qatar Airways has further expanded operations in Africa with the launch of its 17th destination on the Continent – daily scheduled flights to Rwanda.

The arrival of flight QR 536 to Rwanda’s capital city of Kigali takes the airline’s African capacity up to 132 passenger flights each week across a diverse network of cities.

In recent months, Qatar Airways launched new African services to Benghazi in Libya and the Ugandan city of Entebbe, with a further three route start-ups planned over the next few months – Mombasa in Kenya, and both Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar in Tanzania.

Rwanda is fast emerging as a growing economic centre, forming strong trade links with Europe and the Far East, thanks largely to its rich mineral resources. The country’s economy is largely based on agriculture but has thriving mineral and tourism industries.

Qatar Airways currently operates a modern fleet of 106 aircraft to 113 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America.

During 2012, the airline’s expansion will also include new routes from Doha to Perth (Australia), Zagreb (Croatia), Gassim (Saudi Arabia), Helsinki (Finland), Belgrade (Serbia), Erbil (Iraq), Baghdad (Iraq) and Yangon (Myanmar). Apart from Kigali, the carrier last month launched flights to the Azerbaijan capital Baku and Georgia’s capital city of Tbilisi.
