South Sudan air service to be resumed on RwandAir
By Prof. Dr. Wolfgang H. Thome, eTN Africa Correspondent | Feb 11, 2014
RwandAir has announced the resumption of its Juba services, suspended
since the outbreak of hostilities between the two opposing sides in
South Sudan. A full schedule of services between Kigali and Juba will
be restored as of 01st of March. The airline will from that date
onwards again fly three times a week between the two capitals, using
one of their CRJ900NextGen aircraft featuring a dual class
configuration.
The decision to resume flights came on the heels of the news received
from the South Sudan government that they had signed a ceasefire deal
with the rebels. This confirmation of peace talks reassured the
airline of the safety of their passengers though the latest news from
Addis Ababa, that the second round of peace talks has been halted, may
yet add a twist in the tale of this story.
RwandAir the national carrier of the Republic of Rwanda launched
flights to Juba last year on September 21st with attractive fares
which raised their number of passengers within the first week of
operations and continued to grow until flights had to be halted in
December.
The launch of Juba as a destination marked the final milestone for
RwandAir in the year of 2013 as its 15th destination across Western,
Southern and Eastern Africa and to Dubai. The two months wait for
operations to commence now appears to be finally over as the airline
is ready and eager to serve their customers on the Juba route once
more
Meanwhile is the airline preparing for two major events, the delivery
of their first Bombardier Q400 dual class turboprop aircraft on the
03rd of March and the launch of their 16th destination, Douala, at the
end of March in an effort to expand their footprint in the lucrative
West African market.
