The acquisition deal between Qatar Airways and Rwanda’s national carrier RwandAir is still on, with those aware of the latest plans saying internal re-organisation is going on at the national airline to accommodate Qatar Airways to reflect the new partnership in operations by end of this year.
RwandAir and Qatar went public in February 2020 with plans that the latter was buying a 49 percent stake in RwandAir, a development that was going to reset the aviation industry not just in the region but also on the continent considering Qatar’s financial muscle and global reach.
