RwandAir (WB, Kigali) has outlined its tentative A330 operational timetable with regular flights to begin on October 26. According to Airline Route, the widebody jet will make its debut with a 4x weekly direct Kigali-Dubai Int'l service.



RwandAir has one A330-300 and one A330-200 on order from Airbus Industrie (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) with both due to deliver during the current half of the year.

Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 772B engines, the two aircraft will feature a three-class cabin layout. The A330-200 will feature 244 seats (twenty business class, twenty-one premium and 203 economy class) while the A330-300 will have 274 seats (thirty business class, twenty-one premium and 223 economy class).

Both jets will be used in developing the Rwandan national carrier's longhaul network to include destinations in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
