KLM begins operations in Rwanda

The Dutch airline KLM made its maiden flight to Kigali last week.

KLM2By flying directly between Kigali and Amsterdam, KLM now competes with the already established SN Brussels in direct air travel between Europe and Rwanda.

“The arrival of KLM will give travelers an extra choice and enhances competition,” said Infrastructure Minister Vincent Karega.

KLM ventured into the Rwan­dan market due to its rapid grow­ing economy which has brought about increased demand for travel. It is expected that the ar­rival of a new player will increase opportunities for more connec­tions as well as increased busi­ness opportunities in sectors such as tourism.
