RwandAir and Turkish Airlines have signed a milestone codeshare agreement as the African airline continues to expand its global reach. The new partnership will offer greater travel choices and seamless connection opportunities for customers of both airlines out of Kigali and Istanbul respectively.
RwandAir customers travelling from Africa can now enjoy easy access to Turkish Airlines’ extensive network of over 300 worldwide destinations, giving Africa even greater global connectivity. Similarly, Turkish Airlines passengers can also benefit from this codeshare agreement, with customers arriving in Kigali now being able to enjoy smooth onward connections across RwandAir’s African network.
“We are incredibly excited to have signed this new codeshare agreement with one of the world’s largest and leading carriers, Turkish Airlines. This landmark move will not only allow our customers to access the 124 countries served by Turkish Airlines but will improve connections for inbound travellers to Africa via our extensive continental network. RwandAir is always exploring new commercial opportunities to expand its reach into markets which can deliver financial return and benefit our growing customer base,” said Yvonne Makolo CEO of RwandAir.
Turkish Airlines offers daily flights between RwandAir’s Kigali base and the carrier’s home hub in Istanbul and this new agreement follows the African airline’s recently launched codeshares agreements with other leading airlines such as Qatar Airways.
