Never heard of RwandAir? RwandAir is an African airline based in Kigali, Rwanda and serves as the flag carrier of Rwanda. The airline operates routes to different countries in Africa including Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and plenty more. Currently their fleet consists of 1 A330-200, 1 A330-300 2 737-700’s, 4 737-800’s 2 CRJ-900’s, and 2 Dash 8 Q400’s. Read more about RwandAir here.
Introduction: For my first feature request, I’ve been debating what livery to bring forth. That is when I stumbled upon RwandAir’s beautiful 737-800. In anticipation of the 737 touch up, I decided to request this stunner. With this livery in the sim, IF players will be able to open up brand new routes that will allow them to explore the beauty of Central Africa.
The Benefits: This particular aircraft serves as the backbone of RwandAir’s short to medium haul routes, which include but are not limited to:
- Lagos
- Lusaka
- Brazzaville
- Harare
Often these destinations are neglected in IF and do not receive the love that they deserve. However, this livery can turn all of that around. How? This livery if added can be one of the few central African airlines present in the sim. Additionally, an aircraft with an adequate range opens up the opportunity to explore the breathtaking African scenery, while at the same time encouraging new users to come out and show off this livery.
Conclusion: The addition of this livery can bring a further concentration of aircraft into the central African region. Additionally, with the TAAG Angola 737-700 confirmed, users could have the opportunity to explore the vast regions of this beautiful continent with possibly two new liveries to choose from. In my opinion, adding RwandAir to the sim will be a huge benefit to the sim overall and to this neglected region. After all the airline’s slogan is Fly the dream of Africa.
Thanks for taking the time to read this feature request!
