RwandAir
has unveiled RwandAir Holidays, a comprehensive all-in-one travel booking
platform with exclusive deals and offers that allow customers to seamlessly
book their flight and all their travel needs in one place. This new service is
made possible through a strategic collaboration with HBX
Group, which provides a robust selection of hotels, airport transfers, and
in-destination experiences, and with Onlinetravel,
whose cutting-edge dynamic packaging technology and 24/7 customer support will
power the platform.
Intuitively
integrated into RwandAir’s website, RwandAir Holidays allows customers to
effortlessly plan and book their trips by combining RwandAir flights with a
wide array of travel products without leaving the platform. Whether it’s a
short city escape, a multi-week getaway, or a personalised business trip,
travellers can tailor their journeys by choosing their preferred length of
stay, accommodations, airport transfers, and unique local experiences. The
platform also allows customers to select their seats, add baggage, and secure
travel insurance, all in a single, hassle-free booking process.
Fouad
Caunhye, Chief Commercial Officer at RwandAir, said: “RwandAir has long
provided connections to travellers flying to Africa and beyond, which we’re
building on with the launch of RwandAir Holidays. Now, our customers can book a
complete package holiday using our simple, convenient platform. RwandAir
Holidays gives travellers the means to choose their ideal holiday or trip in a
few easy steps.”
The
partnership with HBX Group and Onlinetravel enables RwandAir to provide its
customers with access to a vast network of travel services. Leveraging its
extensive global network, HBX Group supplies RwandaAir Holidays with thousands
of high-quality accommodations and curated travel experiences designed to meet
the expectations of today's travellers. With its deep understanding of the
travel industry, HBX Group and Onlinetravel ensure that each booking is
optimised for convenience and value, helping RwandAir unlock new ancillary
revenue opportunities while delivering a superior customer experience.
Mark
Antipof, Chief Growth Officer at HBX Group, added: “Today’s travellers expect a
seamless and connected booking experience, and we are thrilled to support
RwandAir in making that a reality through RwandAir Holidays. Our role is to
provide the best non-air content—from hotels to in-destination experiences—ensuring
RwandAir customers can build the perfect trip around their flights. This
partnership is a great example of how technology and collaboration can redefine
airline retailing.”
Ricardo
Fernández, CEO of OnlineTravel, commented: “At OnlineTravel, we are committed
to empowering airlines with the technology they need to deliver seamless and
dynamic travel experiences. Through our advanced packaging solutions, RwandAir
Holidays provides travellers with an effortless way to book their entire
journey in one place, combining flights with handpicked accommodations,
transfers, and experiences. We are proud to support RwandAir in this exciting
