With a motive to uplift Rwanda’s economy, tourism, trade and political ties around the world, Rwanda Air was formed. It was in existence even before the 1994 genocide under the name of Air Rwanda but
later collapsed to the latter plight that took the country into its darkest days, where a massive carnage of natives occurred. This literally destroyed everything from the economy to the society in Rwanda, everything was at standstill and more so its official flag air carrier.
However after the genocide, several attempts were made to revive the air carrier where a Uganda based company SA alliance took over its management from 1997-2000. The company faced some economic hardships and withdrew business of managing Air Rwanda and again shut down for some time and later revived by the Rwanda government. The government of Rwanda rebranded the air carrier to RwandAir express after claiming full ownership of it. In April 2003, it started business and this only did regional flights in nearby countries like Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and Dr. Congo to mention but a few.
In an attempt to expand its operation to Europe, middle east and far America, this national flag air carrier rebranded from Rwanda Air Express to Rwanda Air as it wanted to assert its name as a large carrier with the RwandAir name since the Rwanda Air express sounded like a small carrier that could only do regional flights.
At the turn of this current decade, RwandAir geared up its operations by acquiring more air carriers from the Boeings to the Airbuses. With now 12 air carriers to its bank and four more to be acquired in the forthcoming years, Rwanda Air is now an international air carrier. In 2015, it became a member of International Air Transport Association, the most trusted air transport regulatory organization in the world and in addition, it also received International Air Transport Association’s Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO). With all these certificates and recognition to its name Rwanda air has become of the most trusted and popular African based air carriers in the world.
