Onboard the delivery flight were 38 Passengers including flight crew, RwandAir Technicians, RCCA Team, Airbus team and a team of journalists.
Addressing Journalists during the delivery ceremony, RwandAir's CEO John Mirenge said "The aircraft is the first of its kind in East Africa and will help boost RwandAir’s capacity to expand its wings globally"
