Rwandan national carrier RwandAir has finalised plans to launch direct flight to Mumbai from its hub in Kigali in December 2016. The proposed service includes a stop-over in Dar es Salaam in both direction as the airline plans to leverage its fifth freedom traffic rights to carry passengers solely between India and Tanzania. RwandAir, the fastest growing airline in Africa, is gearing up to launch long/mid-haul flights with wide-body aircraft. And Mumbai is going to be one of its first few mid-haul/wide-body destinations along with Dubai and possibly Guangzhou. It currently operates an all narrow-body fleet and has one Airbus A330-200 and one A330-300 on order which are likely to join fleet in the next couple of months.
