RwandAir just started flying direct between Kigali and Zanzibar, and officials are hyped about what it means for tourism and business. Seif Abdallah Juma from Zanzibar Airports Authority said the route proves the islands have leveled up their aviation game with terminal upgrades and international-standard infrastructure. Ernest Mushi from RwandAir confirmed Zanzibar is their third Tanzanian stop after Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro.
The airline is running four weekly flights with 109-seat planes, and they're pitching it as part of a bigger East African connectivity push that links Kigali, Zanzibar, and Mombasa. Rwanda's ambassador said the route strengthens regional cooperation on trade and people movement. Zanzibar airport officials are betting this December will bring record arrivals.
