Rwanda's national air carrier, RwandAir has confirmed it will make in its maiden flight on the Harare-Cape Town route on May 16, 2018 as it seeks to grow destinations.

RwandAir becomes the first airline to fly direct from Harare to Cape Town in South Africa after the carrier decided early this month to use its Fifth Freedom rights.

Under the Fifth Freedom framework, RwandAir will carry passengers from Rwanda to Zimbabwe and then to a third country.  

RwandAir's Harare sales consultant, Daniel Muteta said that their mission is to widen their destination networks and connect to the rest of Sub Saharan Africa.
