Qatar Airways Cargo partners with Rwandair


Anticipating new capacities for air freight at the Burgesera airport currently under construction, Rwandair has launched a major new African cargo hub in partnership with Qatar Airways Cargo.

 

The new Kigali Cargo Hub is part of a long-term strategic plan Rwandair’s cargo division, which has seen cargo volumes rise by nearly 26% in the last five years.

 

Rwandair CEO Yvonne Makolo and Guillaume Halleux, chief officer cargo at Qatar Airways, were on hand to watch the first B777F land, as well as local dignitaries, freight forwarders, partners and customers. The aircraft will fly from Doha to Kigali twice a week.

 

In March, the cargo carrier introduced a thrice weekly service between Kigali and Lagos and a weekly Istanbul - Doha - Kigali service. New destinations from Rwanda will be announced soon. (ah)
