Rwandair Express leases a Dash 8-200

Rwandair Express has wet-leased a Dash-8-200 from Ethiopia-based Midroc Corporation for use on flights to Entebbe, Uganda; Kilimanjaro, Tanzania; and Bujumbura, Burundi. The aircraft, which will complement the airline’s sole MD-82, will soon be replaced by an Embraer 120, and the MD-82 replaced with a B733. These forthcoming changes would reduce fuel costs and be more in line with the airline’s capacity requirements.
