Qatar Airways strengthens partnership with RwandAir
Qatar Airways has unveiled its new strategic partnership with Rwanda’s flag carrier, RwandAir via their hubs at Doha and Kigali.
The extensive interline agreement will give customers access to the networks of both airlines, for a more seamless travel experience and adds to the recent partnership on reciprocal frequent flyer benefits.
Customers have access to over 160 destinations in the combined networks of both airlines, which connect via Doha and Kigali.
This latest cooperation comes after the airlines’ recent loyalty partnerships announcement, giving RwandAir Dream Miles and Qatar Airways Privilege Club loyalty members, access to each other’s destinations with the opportunity to ‘earn and burn’ points across their route networks.
His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al-Baker, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive said: "This partnership cements our commitment to giving travellers the widest choice of destinations, which is the goal of both Qatar Airways and RwandAir."
"Africa is a hugely important market for us and this latest partnership will help support the recovery of international air travel."
RwandAir operates services throughout Africa and to long-haul destinations including London Heathrow, from its Kigali hub.
Yvonne Makolo, RwandAir CEO, said: "We’re really excited to be opening up more of the world to our customers through the new interline agreement with Qatar Airways.
