RwandAir, the state-run Rwandan airline, plans to add a European destination this year and carry a record 1 million passengers by 2017 as it boosts the size of its fleet.
The carrier is considering flying to either London, Paris or Frankfurt by the end of the year, depending on which country it can obtain permission from first, Chief Executive Officer John Mirenge said in an interview in the capital, Kigali. It handled 600,000 passengers in 2015, up from 500,000 a year earlier, he said.
